Ezekiel 21:7

21:7 When they ask you, ‘Why are you groaning?’ you will reply, ‘Because of the report that has come. Every heart will melt with fear and every hand will be limp; everyone ¹  will faint and every knee will be wet with urine.’ ²  Pay attention – it is coming and it will happen, declares the sovereign Lord.”

Ezekiel 26:20

26:20 then I will bring you down to bygone people, ³  to be with those who descend to the pit. I will make you live in the lower parts of the earth, among ⁴  the primeval ruins, with those who descend to the pit, so that you will not be inhabited or stand ⁵  in the land of the living.

Ezekiel 39:11

39:11 “‘On that day I will assign Gog a grave in Israel. It will be the valley of those who travel east of the sea; it will block the way of the travelers. There they will bury Gog and all his horde; they will call it the valley of Hamon-Gog. ⁶ 

[21:7]  ¹ tn Heb “every spirit will be dim.”

[21:7]  ² sn This expression depicts in a very vivid way how they will be overcome with fear. See the note on the same phrase in 7:17.

[26:20]  ³ tn Heb “to the people of antiquity.”

[26:20]  ⁴ tn Heb “like.” The translation assumes an emendation of the preposition כְּ (kÿ, “like”), to בְּ (bÿ, “in, among”).

[26:20]  ⁵ tn Heb “and I will place beauty.” This reading makes little sense; many, following the lead of the LXX, emend the text to read “nor will you stand” with the negative particle before the preceding verb understood by ellipsis; see L. C. Allen, Ezekiel (WBC), 2:73. D. I. Block (Ezekiel [NICOT], 2:47) offers another alternative, taking the apparent first person verb form as an archaic second feminine form and translating “nor radiate splendor.”

[39:11]  ⁶ tn The name means “horde of Gog.”
