The prior statement pretty well summarizes the reading, but to Tyre, God said,
"By thy great wisdom and by thy traffick hast thou increased thy riches, and thine heart is lifted up because of thy riches" (Ezek 28:5).

There must be a barrier between us and the wrath of God. Who can appease His wrath for sin?

Jeremiah 41-45: Verse of the Day
"The LORD hath said concerning you, O ye remnant of Judah; Go ye not into Egypt: know certainly that I have admonished you this day. For ye dissembled in your hearts, when ye sent me unto the LORD your God, saying, Pray for us unto the LORD our God; and according unto all that the LORD our God shall say, so declare unto us, and we will do it" (Jer 42:19-20).
When the people asked Jeremiah to pray, they were already planning on going to Egypt and wanted to have God's blessing on their journey. When God did not bless that journey, they were done with God. You draw the conclusion...
