Chapter xxiii.
Once more a parable is given to illustrate and expose the wickedness of
Samaria and Jerusalem in their ungodly relationship with Assyria and
Chaldea. On the whole, this chapter bears a similar message as the one
contained in chapter xvi, however, with this difference that here the
later history of the two kingdoms, the Kingdom of Israel and the Kingdom
of Judah and their defilement with heathen nations is the prominent
feature. The chapter has five sections.
