Yehezkiel 21:24
Konteks21:24 “Therefore this is what the sovereign Lord says: ‘Because you have brought up 1 your own guilt by uncovering your transgressions and revealing your sins through all your actions, for this reason you will be taken by force. 2
Yehezkiel 21:28
Konteks21:28 “As for you, son of man, prophesy and say, ‘This is what the sovereign Lord says concerning the Ammonites and their coming humiliation; 3 say:
“‘A sword, a sword drawn for slaughter,
polished to consume, 4 to flash like lightning –
[21:24] 1 tn Heb “caused to be remembered.”
[21:24] 2 tn Heb “Because you have brought to remembrance your guilt when your transgressions are uncovered so that your sins are revealed in all your deeds – because you are remembered, by the hand you will be seized.”
[21:28] 3 tn Heb “their reproach.”
[21:28] 4 tn Heb “to contain, endure.” Since the Hebrew text as it stands makes little, if any, sense, most emend the text to read either “to consume” or “for destruction.” For discussion of options see D. I. Block, Ezekiel (NICOT), 1:693.
