Counter-Arguments

The strongest case that this verse does not belong in this theme.

Israel-Specific Promises

The verse describes God sending Ezekiel to the children of Israel due to their rebellion, which is a statement about their current state and a command for Ezekiel, not a promise, prophecy, or covenant directed *at* them in a positive or future-oriented sense.

Prophetic Calling & Commission

While the verse describes a sending, it focuses more on the destination and the nature of the people being sent to, rather than the specific details of Ezekiel's calling, reluctance, or empowerment for the prophetic role.
