Yehezkiel 5:13

5:13 Then my anger will be fully vented; I will exhaust my rage on them, and I will be appeased. ¹  Then they will know that I, the Lord, have spoken in my jealousy ²  when I have fully vented my rage against them.

Yehezkiel 7:19

7:19 They will discard their silver in the streets, and their gold will be treated like filth. ³  Their silver and gold will not be able to deliver them on the day of the Lord’s fury. ⁴  They will not satisfy their hunger or fill their stomachs because their wealth ⁵  was the obstacle leading to their iniquity. ⁶ 

[5:13]  ¹ tn Or “calm myself.”

[5:13]  ² tn The Hebrew noun translated “jealousy” is used in the human realm to describe suspicion of adultery (Num 5:14ff.; Prov 6:34). Since Israel’s relationship with God was often compared to a marriage this term is appropriate here. The term occurs elsewhere in Ezekiel in 8:3, 5; 16:38, 42; 23:25.

[7:19]  ³ tn The Hebrew term can refer to menstrual impurity. The term also occurs at the end of v. 20.

[7:19]  ⁴ sn Compare Zeph 1:18.

[7:19]  ⁵ tn Heb “it.” Apparently the subject is the silver and gold mentioned earlier (see L. C. Allen, Ezekiel [WBC], 1:102).

[7:19]  ⁶ tn The “stumbling block of their iniquity” is a unique phrase of the prophet Ezekiel (Ezek 14:3, 4, 7; 18:30; 44:12).
