"“They which lead thee,” the prophet continued, “cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths.” Verse 12 . During the reign of Ahaz this was literally true; for of him it is written: “He walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, and made also molten images for Baalim. Moreover he burnt incense in the valley of the son of Hinnom;” “yea, and made his son to pass through the fire, according to the abominations of the heathen, whom the Lord cast out from before the children of Israel.” 2 Chronicles 28:2, 3 ; 2 Kings 16:3 . PK 324.1"
"As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths."
EGW directly quotes Isaiah 3:12.
"But he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, yea, and made his son to pass through the fire, according to the abominations of the heathen, whom the Lord cast out from before the children of Israel."
Ellen White directly references 2 Kings 16:3 in this passage.
"This was indeed a time of great peril for the chosen nation. Only a few short years, and the ten tribes of the kingdom of Israel were to be scattered among the nations of heathendom. And in the kingdom of Judah also the outlook was dark. The forces for good were rapidly diminishing, the forces for evil multiplying. The prophet Micah, viewing the situation, was constrained to exclaim: “The good man is perished out of the earth: and there is none upright among men.” “The best of them is as a brier: the most upright is sharper than a thorn hedge.” Micah 7:2, 4 . “Except the Lord of hosts had left unto us a very small remnant,” declared Isaiah, “we should have been as Sodom, and ... Gomorrah.” Isaiah 1:9 . PK 324.2"
"The good man is perished out of the earth: and there is none upright among men: they all lie in wait for blood; they hunt every man his brother with a net."
EGW directly quotes Micah 7:2.
"Except the Lord of hosts had left unto us a very small remnant, we should have been as Sodom, and we should have been like unto Gomorrah."
Ellen White directly references Isaiah 1:9 in this passage.
"In every age, for the sake of those who have remained true, as well as because of His infinite love for the erring, God has borne long with the rebellious, and has urged them to forsake their course of evil and return to Him. “Precept upon precept; line upon line, ... here a little, and there a little,” through men of His appointment, He has taught transgressors the way of righteousness. Isaiah 28:10 . PK 324.3"
"For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little:"
Ellen White directly references Isaiah 28:10 in this passage.
"Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel?"
Both passages emphasize God's desire for the wicked to turn from their ways and live. Ezekiel 33:11 expresses God's lack of pleasure in the death of the wicked, while the EGW passage speaks of God's long-suffering and urging the rebellious to return. The Isaiah 28:10 reference in the EGW passage is about the method of teaching, not the core message of repentance, so the connection to Ezekiel is valid.
"The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance."
Both passages highlight God's longsuffering and desire for people to repent rather than perish. The EGW passage speaks of God's infinite love for the erring and His urging them to return, while 2 Peter 3:9 emphasizes God's longsuffering and unwillingness that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.
