Yehezkiel 32:4-5

32:4 I will leave you on the ground,

I will fling you on the open field,

I will allow ¹  all the birds of the sky to settle ²  on you,

and I will permit ³  all the wild animals ⁴  to gorge themselves on you.

32:5 I will put your flesh on the mountains,

and fill the valleys with your maggot-infested carcass. ⁵ 

Yehezkiel 39:18-20

39:18 You will eat the flesh of warriors ⁶  and drink the blood of the princes of the earth – the rams, lambs, goats, and bulls, all of them fattened animals of Bashan. 39:19 You will eat fat until you are full, and drink blood until you are drunk, ⁷  at my slaughter ⁸  which I have made for you. 39:20 You will fill up at my table with horses and charioteers, ⁹  with warriors and all the soldiers,’ declares the sovereign Lord.

[32:4]  ¹ tn Or “cause.”

[32:4]  ² tn Heb “live.”

[32:4]  ³ tn Or “cause.”

[32:4]  ⁴ tn Heb “the beasts of the field,” referring to wild as opposed to domesticated animals.

[32:5]  ⁵ tc The Hebrew text is difficult here, apparently meaning “your height.” Following Symmachus and the Syriac, it is preferable to emend the text to read “your maggots.” See D. I. Block, Ezekiel (NICOT), 2:203.

[39:18]  ⁶ sn See Rev 19:17-18.

[39:19]  ⁷ sn Eating the fat and drinking blood were God’s exclusive rights in Israelite sacrifices (Lev 3:17).

[39:19]  ⁸ tn Or “sacrifice” (so also in the rest of this verse).

[39:20]  ⁹ tn Heb “chariots.”
