Yehezkiel 13:9

13:9 My hand will be against the prophets who see delusion and announce lying omens. They will not be included in the council ¹  of my people, nor be written in the registry ²  of the house of Israel, nor enter the land of Israel. Then you will know that I am the sovereign Lord.

Yehezkiel 13:21

13:21 I will tear off your headbands and rescue my people from your power; ³  they will no longer be prey in your hands. Then you will know that I am the Lord.

Yehezkiel 13:23

13:23 Therefore you will no longer see false visions and practice divination. I will rescue my people from your power, and you ⁴  will know that I am the Lord.’”

Yehezkiel 14:8

14:8 I will set my face against that person and will make him an object lesson and a byword ⁵  and will cut him off from among my people. Then you will know that I am the Lord.

[13:9]  ¹ tn The Hebrew term may refer to the secret council of the Lord (Jer 23:18; Job 15:8), but here it more likely refers to a human council comprised of civic leaders (Gen 49:6; Jer 6:11; 15:17 Ps 64:3; 111:1).

[13:9]  ² tn The reference here is probably to a civil list (as in Ezra 2:16; Neh 7:64) rather than to a “book of life” (Exod 32:32; Isa 4:3; Ps 69:29; Dan 12:1). This registry may have been established at the making of David’s census (2 Sam 24:2, 9).

[13:21]  ³ tn Heb “from your hand(s).” This refers to their power over the people.

[13:23]  ⁴ tn The Hebrew verb is feminine plural, indicating that it is the false prophetesses who are addressed here.

[14:8]  ⁵ tn Heb “proverbs.”
