Yehezkiel 5:15

5:15 You will be ¹  an object of scorn and taunting, ²  a prime example of destruction ³  among the nations around you when I execute judgments against you in anger and raging fury. ⁴  I, the Lord, have spoken!

Yehezkiel 7:19

7:19 They will discard their silver in the streets, and their gold will be treated like filth. ⁵  Their silver and gold will not be able to deliver them on the day of the Lord’s fury. ⁶  They will not satisfy their hunger or fill their stomachs because their wealth ⁷  was the obstacle leading to their iniquity. ⁸ 

Yehezkiel 28:26

28:26 They will live securely in it; they will build houses and plant vineyards. They will live securely ⁹  when I execute my judgments on all those who scorn them and surround them. Then they will know that I am the Lord their God.’”

Yehezkiel 30:6

30:6 “‘This is what the Lord says:

Egypt’s supporters will fall;

her confident pride will crumble. ¹⁰ 

From Migdol to Syene ¹¹  they will die by the sword within her,

declares the sovereign Lord.

Yehezkiel 31:12

31:12 Foreigners from the most terrifying nations have cut it down and left it to lie there on the mountains. In all the valleys its branches have fallen, and its boughs lie broken in the ravines of the land. All the peoples of the land ¹²  have departed ¹³  from its shade and left it.

Yehezkiel 32:10

32:10 I will shock many peoples with you,

and their kings will shiver with horror because of you.

When I brandish my sword before them,

every moment each one will tremble for his life, on the day of your fall.

[5:15]  ¹ tc This reading is supported by the versions and by the Dead Sea Scrolls (11QEzek). Most Masoretic Hebrew mss read “it will be,” but if the final he (ה) is read as a mater lectionis, as it can be with the second masculine singular perfect, then they are in agreement. In either case the subject refers to Jerusalem.

[5:15]  ² tn The Hebrew word occurs only here in the OT. A related verb means “revile, taunt” (see Ps 44:16).

[5:15]  ³ tn Heb “discipline and devastation.” These words are omitted in the Old Greek. The first term pictures Jerusalem as a recipient or example of divine discipline; the second depicts her as a desolate ruin (see Ezek 6:14).

[5:15]  ⁴ tn Heb “in anger and in fury and in rebukes of fury.” The heaping up of synonyms emphasizes the degree of God’s anger.

[7:19]  ⁵ tn The Hebrew term can refer to menstrual impurity. The term also occurs at the end of v. 20.

[7:19]  ⁶ sn Compare Zeph 1:18.

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

[7:19]  ⁸ tn The “stumbling block of their iniquity” is a unique phrase of the prophet Ezekiel (Ezek 14:3, 4, 7; 18:30; 44:12).

[28:26]  ⁹ sn This promise was given in Lev 25:18-19.

[30:6]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “come down.”

[30:6]  ¹¹ sn Syene is known as Aswan today.

[31:12]  ¹² tn Or “earth” (KJV, ASV, NASB, NIV, NRSV).

[31:12]  ¹³ tn Heb “gone down.”
