God sends E to Pharaoh with another lamentation. Oh yes, you read that right..ANOTHER lamentation. It basically says, "you think you are a lion, butt you are actually a sea dragon, and I'm going to kill you."
Then its on to the captives of Babylon. To them he sends a warning. God says that he may warn them when the sword comes at Babylon and if they don't take cover then, its there own damn fault.
BUTT if they don't get warning from the watchman, then its the watchmans fault and his blood shall be claimed.
I think that's fair.
The whole thing about warning the wicked or be held responsible is a total re-run. We've read this from another prophet, just a few books back.
Chapter 34 is a shout-out to the spiritual shepards in the crowd. Get those sheep in line! Stop worrying about yourselves and take care of the flocks.
"Now that I think about it" says God, "I'm just taking over this entire operation."
So God will find the lost sheep, feed and water the young.

I think you highlighted all the major points well: Accountability, [yet] another second chance, reprimanding the priests, and Messianic prophesies.
Today is Ez. 35-37
