Yehezkiel 1:9

1:9 their wings touched each other; they did not turn as they moved, but went straight ahead. ¹ 

Yehezkiel 1:12

1:12 Each moved straight ahead ²  – wherever the spirit ³  would go, they would go, without turning as they went.

Yehezkiel 3:5

3:5 For you are not being sent to a people of unintelligible speech ⁴  and difficult language, ⁵  but ⁶  to the house of Israel –

Yehezkiel 3:19

3:19 But as for you, if you warn the wicked and he does not turn from his wicked deed and from his wicked lifestyle, he will die for his iniquity but you will have saved your own life. ⁷ 

Yehezkiel 3:21

3:21 However, if you warn the righteous person not to sin, and he ⁸  does not sin, he will certainly live because he was warned, and you will have saved your own life.”

Yehezkiel 3:26

3:26 I will make your tongue stick to the roof of your mouth so that you will be silent and unable to reprove ⁹  them, for they are a rebellious house.

Yehezkiel 4:8

4:8 Look here, I will tie you up with ropes, so you cannot turn from one side to the other until you complete the days of your siege. ¹⁰ 

Yehezkiel 7:7

7:7 Doom is coming upon you who live in the land! The time is coming, the day ¹¹  is near. There are sounds of tumult, not shouts of joy, on the mountains. ¹² 

Yehezkiel 10:16

10:16 When the cherubim moved, the wheels moved beside them; when the cherubim spread ¹³  their wings to rise from the ground, the wheels did not move from their side.

Yehezkiel 11:11

11:11 This city will not be a cooking pot for you, and you will not ¹⁴  be meat within it; I will judge you at the border of Israel.

Yehezkiel 12:6

12:6 While they are watching, raise your baggage onto your shoulder and carry it out in the dark. ¹⁵  You must cover your face so that you cannot see the ground ¹⁶  because I have made you an object lesson ¹⁷  to the house of Israel.”

Yehezkiel 12:13

12:13 But I will throw my net over him, and he will be caught in my snare. I will bring him to Babylon, the land of the Chaldeans ¹⁸  (but he will not see it), ¹⁹  and there he will die. ²⁰ 

Yehezkiel 13:6

13:6 They see delusion and their omens are a lie. ²¹  They say, “the Lord declares,” though the Lord has not sent them; ²²  yet they expect their word to be confirmed. ²³ 

Yehezkiel 13:21-22

13:21 I will tear off your headbands and rescue my people from your power; ²⁴  they will no longer be prey in your hands. Then you will know that I am the Lord. 13:22 This is because you have disheartened the righteous person with lies (although I have not grieved him), and because you have encouraged the wicked person not to turn from his evil conduct and preserve his life.

Yehezkiel 14:18

14:18 Even if these three men were in it, as surely as I live, declares the sovereign Lord, they could not save their own sons or daughters – they would save only their own lives.

Yehezkiel 15:5

15:5 Indeed! If it was not made into anything useful when it was whole, how much less can it be made into anything when the fire has burned it up and it is charred?

Yehezkiel 16:22

16:22 And with all your abominable practices and prostitution you did not remember the days of your youth when you were naked and bare, kicking around in your blood.

Yehezkiel 16:31

16:31 When you built your chamber at the head of every street and put up your pavilion in every public square, you were not like a prostitute, because you scoffed at payment. ²⁵ 

Yehezkiel 16:41

16:41 They will burn down your houses and execute judgments on you in front of many women. Thus I will put a stop to your prostitution, and you will no longer give gifts to your clients. ²⁶ 

Yehezkiel 16:51

16:51 Samaria has not committed half the sins you have; you have done more abominable deeds than they did. ²⁷  You have made your sisters appear righteous with all the abominable things you have done.

Yehezkiel 16:61

16:61 Then you will remember your conduct, and be ashamed when you receive your older and younger sisters. I will give them to you as daughters, but not on account of my covenant with you.

Yehezkiel 17:10

17:10 Consider! It is planted, but will it prosper?

Will it not wither completely when the east wind blows on it?

Will it not wither in the soil where it sprouted?’”

Yehezkiel 17:17

17:17 Pharaoh with his great army and mighty horde will not help ²⁸  him in battle, when siege ramps are erected and siege-walls are built to kill many people.

Yehezkiel 17:19

17:19 “‘Therefore this is what the sovereign Lord says: As surely as I live, I will certainly repay him ²⁹  for despising my oath and breaking my covenant!

Yehezkiel 18:11-14

18:11 (though the father did not do any of them). ³⁰  He eats pagan sacrifices on the mountains, ³¹  defiles his neighbor’s wife, 18:12 oppresses the poor and the needy, ³²  commits robbery, does not give back what was given in pledge, prays to ³³  idols, performs abominable acts, 18:13 engages in usury and charges interest. Will he live? He will not! Because he has done all these abominable deeds he will certainly die. ³⁴  He will bear the responsibility for his own death. ³⁵ 

18:14 “But suppose he in turn has a son who notices all the sins his father commits, considers them, and does not follow his father’s example. ³⁶ 

Yehezkiel 18:18

18:18 As for his father, because he practices extortion, robs his brother, and does what is not good among his people, he will die for his iniquity.

Yehezkiel 18:21

18:21 “But if the wicked person turns from all the sin he has committed and observes all my statutes and does what is just and right, he will surely live; he will not die.

Yehezkiel 19:9

19:9 They put him in a collar with hooks; ³⁷ 

they brought him to the king of Babylon;

they brought him to prison ³⁸ 

so that his voice would not be heard

any longer on the mountains of Israel.

Yehezkiel 19:14

19:14 A fire has gone out from its branch; it has consumed its shoot and its fruit. ³⁹ 

No strong branch was left in it, nor a scepter to rule.’

This is a lament song, and has become a lament song.”

Yehezkiel 20:16

20:16 I did this ⁴⁰  because they rejected my regulations, did not follow my statutes, and desecrated my Sabbaths; for their hearts followed their idols. ⁴¹ 

Yehezkiel 20:24

20:24 I did this ⁴²  because they did not observe my regulations, they rejected my statutes, they desecrated my Sabbaths, and their eyes were fixed on ⁴³  their fathers’ idols.

Yehezkiel 20:32-33

20:32 “‘What you plan ⁴⁴  will never happen. You say, “We will be ⁴⁵  like the nations, like the clans of the lands, who serve gods of wood and stone.” ⁴⁶  20:33 As surely as I live, declares the sovereign Lord, with a powerful hand and an outstretched arm, ⁴⁷  and with an outpouring of rage, I will be king over you.

Yehezkiel 20:38

20:38 I will eliminate from among you the rebels and those who revolt ⁴⁸  against me. I will bring them out from the land where they have been residing, but they will not come to the land of Israel. Then you will know that I am the Lord.

Yehezkiel 20:44

20:44 Then you will know that I am the Lord, when I deal with you for the sake of my reputation and not according to your wicked conduct and corrupt deeds, O house of Israel, declares the sovereign Lord.’”

Yehezkiel 20:49

20:49 Then I said, “O sovereign Lord! They are saying of me, ‘Does he not simply speak in eloquent figures of speech?’”

Yehezkiel 21:5

21:5 Then everyone will know that I am the Lord, who drew my sword from its sheath – it will not be sheathed again!’

Yehezkiel 21:13

21:13 “‘For testing will come, and what will happen when the scepter, which the sword despises, is no more? ⁴⁹  declares the sovereign Lord.’

Yehezkiel 21:26-27

21:26 this is what the sovereign Lord says:

Tear off the turban, ⁵⁰ 

take off the crown!

Things must change! ⁵¹ 

Exalt the lowly,

bring down the proud! ⁵² 

21:27 A total ruin I will make it! ⁵³ 

It will come to an end

when the one arrives to whom I have assigned judgment.’ ⁵⁴ 

Yehezkiel 21:32

21:32 You will become fuel for the fire –

your blood will stain the middle of the land; ⁵⁵ 

you will no longer be remembered,

for I, the Lord, have spoken.’”

Yehezkiel 22:28-30

22:28 Her prophets coat their messages with whitewash. ⁵⁶  They see false visions and announce lying omens for them, saying, ‘This is what the sovereign Lord says,’ when the Lord has not spoken. 22:29 The people of the land have practiced extortion and committed robbery. They have wronged the poor and needy; they have oppressed the foreigner who lives among them and denied them justice. ⁵⁷ 

22:30 “I looked for a man from among them who would repair the wall and stand in the gap before me on behalf of the land, so that I would not destroy it, but I found no one. ⁵⁸ 

Yehezkiel 23:8

23:8 She did not abandon the prostitution she had practiced in Egypt; for in her youth men had sex with her, fondled her virgin breasts, and ravished her. ⁵⁹ 

Yehezkiel 24:7

24:7 For her blood was in it;

she poured it on an exposed rock;

she did not pour it on the ground to cover it up with dust.

Yehezkiel 24:27

24:27 On that day you will be able to speak again; ⁶⁰  you will talk with the fugitive and be silent no longer. You will be an object lesson for them, and they will know that I am the Lord.”

Yehezkiel 25:10

25:10 I will hand it over, ⁶¹  along with the Ammonites, ⁶²  to the tribes ⁶³  of the east, so that the Ammonites will no longer be remembered among the nations.

Yehezkiel 26:14-15

26:14 I will make you a bare rock; you will be a place where fishing nets are spread. You will never be built again, ⁶⁴  for I, the Lord, have spoken, declares the sovereign Lord.

26:15 “This is what the sovereign Lord says to Tyre: Oh, how the coastlands will shake at the sound of your fall, when the wounded groan, at the massive slaughter in your midst!

Yehezkiel 28:24

28:24 “‘No longer will Israel suffer from the sharp briers ⁶⁵  or painful thorns of all who surround and scorn them. ⁶⁶  Then they will know that I am the sovereign Lord.

Yehezkiel 29:15-16

29:15 It will be the most insignificant of the kingdoms; it will never again exalt itself over the nations. I will make them so small that they will not rule over the nations. 29:16 It will never again be Israel’s source of confidence, but a reminder of how they sinned by turning to Egypt for help. ⁶⁷  Then they will know that I am the sovereign Lord.’”

Yehezkiel 32:7

32:7 When I extinguish you, I will cover the sky;

I will darken its stars.

I will cover the sun with a cloud,

and the moon will not shine. ⁶⁸ 

Yehezkiel 33:4-5

33:4 but there is one who hears the sound of the trumpet yet does not heed the warning. Then the sword comes and sweeps him away. He will be responsible for his own death. ⁶⁹  33:5 He heard the sound of the trumpet but did not heed the warning, so he is responsible for himself. ⁷⁰  If he had heeded the warning, he would have saved his life.

Yehezkiel 33:8-9

33:8 When I say to the wicked, ‘O wicked man, you must certainly die,’ ⁷¹  and you do not warn ⁷²  the wicked about his behavior, ⁷³  the wicked man will die for his iniquity, but I will hold you accountable for his death. ⁷⁴  33:9 But if you warn the wicked man to change his behavior, ⁷⁵  and he refuses to change, ⁷⁶  he will die for his iniquity, but you have saved your own life.

Yehezkiel 33:15

33:15 He ⁷⁷  returns what was taken in pledge, pays back what he has stolen, and follows the statutes that give life, ⁷⁸  committing no iniquity. He will certainly live – he will not die.

Yehezkiel 35:6

35:6 Therefore, as surely as I live, declares the sovereign Lord, I will subject you to bloodshed, and bloodshed will pursue you. Since you did not hate bloodshed, bloodshed will pursue you.

Yehezkiel 36:7

36:7 So this is what the sovereign Lord says: I vow ⁷⁹  that the nations around you will endure insults as well.

Yehezkiel 36:12

36:12 I will lead people, my people Israel, across you; they will possess you and you will become their inheritance. No longer will you bereave them of their children.

Yehezkiel 36:29-32

36:29 I will save you from all your uncleanness. I will call for the grain and multiply it; I will not bring a famine on you. 36:30 I will multiply the fruit of the trees and the produce of the fields, so that you will never again suffer the disgrace of famine among the nations. 36:31 Then you will remember your evil behavior ⁸⁰  and your deeds which were not good; you will loathe yourselves on account of your sins and your abominable deeds. 36:32 Understand that ⁸¹  it is not for your sake I am about to act, declares the sovereign Lord. Be ashamed and embarrassed by your behavior, O house of Israel.

Yehezkiel 38:14

38:14 “Therefore, prophesy, son of man, and say to Gog: ‘This is what the sovereign Lord says: On that day when my people Israel are living securely, you will take notice ⁸² 

Yehezkiel 38:19

38:19 In my zeal, in the fire of my fury, ⁸³  I declare that on that day there will be a great earthquake ⁸⁴  in the land of Israel.

Yehezkiel 39:28-29

39:28 Then they will know that I am the Lord their God, because I sent them into exile among the nations, and then gathered them into their own land. I will not leave any of them in exile ⁸⁵  any longer. 39:29 I will no longer hide my face from them, when I pour out my Spirit on the house of Israel, ⁸⁶  declares the sovereign Lord.”

Yehezkiel 44:13

44:13 They will not come near me to serve me as priest, nor will they come near any of my holy things, the things which are most sacred. They will bear the shame of the abominable deeds they have committed.

Yehezkiel 44:17-18

44:17 “‘When they enter the gates of the inner court, they must wear linen garments; they must not have any wool on them when they minister in the inner gates of the court and in the temple. 44:18 Linen turbans will be on their heads and linen undergarments will be around their waists; they must not bind themselves with anything that causes sweat.

Yehezkiel 44:22

44:22 They must not marry a widow or a divorcee, but they may marry a virgin from the house of Israel ⁸⁷  or a widow who is a priest’s widow.

Yehezkiel 45:8

45:8 of the land. This will be his property in Israel. My princes will no longer oppress my people, but the land will be allotted to the house of Israel according to their tribes.

Yehezkiel 48:11

48:11 This will be for the priests who are set apart from the descendants of Zadok who kept my charge and did not go astray when the people of Israel strayed off, like the Levites did. ⁸⁸ 

[1:9]  ¹ tn Heb “They each went in the direction of one of his faces.”

[1:12]  ² tn See the note on “straight ahead” in v. 9.

[1:12]  ³ tn Or “wind.”

[3:5]  ⁴ tn Heb “deep of lip” (in the sense of incomprehensible).

[3:5]  ⁵ tn Heb “heavy of tongue.” Similar language occurs in Exod 4:10; Isa 33:19.

[3:5]  ⁶ tn The conjunction “but” is not in the Hebrew text, but is implied from the context.

[3:19]  ⁷ tn Verses 17-19 are repeated in Ezek 33:7-9.

[3:21]  ⁸ tn Heb “the righteous man.”

[3:26]  ⁹ tn Heb “you will not be to them a reprover.” In Isa 29:21 and Amos 5:10 “a reprover” issued rebuke at the city gate.

[4:8]  ¹⁰ sn The action surely refers to a series of daily acts rather than to a continuous period.

[7:7]  ¹¹ sn The day refers to the day of the Lord, a concept which, beginning in Amos 5:18-20, became a common theme in the OT prophetic books. It refers to a time when the Lord intervenes in human affairs as warrior and judge.

[7:7]  ¹² tc The LXX reads “neither tumult nor birth pains.” The LXX varies at many points from the MT in this chapter. The context suggests that one or both of these would be present on a day of judgment, thus favoring the MT. Perhaps more significant is the absence of “the mountains” in the LXX. If the ר (resh) in הָרִים (harim, “the mountains” not “on the mountains”) were a ד (dalet), which is a common letter confusion, then it could be from the same root as the previous word, הֵד (hed), meaning “the day is near – with destruction, not joyful shouting.”

[10:16]  ¹³ tn Heb “lifted.”

[11:11]  ¹⁴ tn The Hebrew text does not have the negative particle, but it is implied. The negative particle in the previous line does double duty here.

[12:6]  ¹⁵ tn Apart from this context the Hebrew term occurs only in Gen 15:17 in reference to the darkness after sunset. It may mean twilight.

[12:6]  ¹⁶ tn Or “land” (ASV, NAB, NASB, NIV, NRSV).

[12:6]  ¹⁷ sn See also Ezek 12:11, 24:24, 27.

[12:13]  ¹⁸ tn Or “Babylonians” (NCV, NLT).

[12:13]  sn The Chaldeans were a group of people in the country south of Babylon from which Nebuchadnezzar came. The Chaldean dynasty his father established became the name by which the Babylonians are regularly referred to in the book of Jeremiah, while Jeremiah’s contemporary, Ezekiel, uses both terms.

[12:13]  ¹⁹ sn He will not see it. This prediction was fulfilled in 2 Kgs 25:7 and Jer 52:11, which recount how Zedekiah was blinded before being deported to Babylon.

[12:13]  ²⁰ sn There he will die. This was fulfilled when King Zedekiah died in exile (Jer 52:11).

[13:6]  ²¹ sn The same description of a false prophet is found in Micah 2:11.

[13:6]  ²² sn The Lord has not sent them. A similar concept is found in Jer 14:14; 23:21.

[13:6]  ²³ tn Or “confirmed”; NIV “to be fulfilled”; TEV “to come true.”

[13:21]  ²⁴ tn Heb “from your hand(s).” This refers to their power over the people.

[16:31]  ²⁵ tn The Hebrew term, which also occurs in vv. 34 and 41 of this chapter, always refers to the payment of a prostitute (Deut 23:19; Isa 23:17; Hos 9:1; Mic 1:7).

[16:41]  ²⁶ tn The words “to your clients” are not in the Hebrew text but are implied.

[16:51]  ²⁷ tn Or “you have multiplied your abominable deeds beyond them.”

[17:17]  ²⁸ tn Heb “deal with” or “work with.”

[17:19]  ²⁹ tn Heb “place it on his head.”

[18:11]  ³⁰ tn Heb “and he all of these did not do.” The parenthetical note refers back to the father described in the preceding verses.

[18:11]  ³¹ sn See note on “mountains” in v. 6.

[18:12]  ³² sn The poor and needy are often mentioned together in the OT (Deut 24:14; Jer 22:16; Ezek 14:69; Ps 12:6; 35:10; 37:14).

[18:12]  ³³ tn Heb “lifts up his eyes.”

[18:13]  ³⁴ tn Heb “be put to death.” The translation follows an alternative reading that appears in several ancient textual witnesses.

[18:13]  ³⁵ tn Heb “his blood will be upon him.”

[18:14]  ³⁶ tn Heb “and he sees and does not do likewise.”

[19:9]  ³⁷ tn Or “They put him in a neck stock with hooks.” The noun סּוּגַר (sugar), translated “collar,” occurs only here in the Bible. L. C. Allen and D. I. Block point out a Babylonian cognate that refers to a device for transporting prisoners of war that held them by their necks (D. I. Block, Ezekiel [NICOT], 1:597, n. 35; L. C. Allen, Ezekiel [WBC], 1:284). Based on the Hebrew root, the traditional rendering had been “cage” (cf. ASV, NAB, NASB, NIV, NRSV).

[19:9]  ³⁸ tc The term in the MT occurs only here and in Eccl 9:12 where it refers to a net for catching fish. The LXX translates this as “prison,” which assumes a confusion of dalet and resh took place in the MT.

[19:14]  ³⁹ tn The verse describes the similar situation recorded in Judg 9:20.

[20:16]  ⁴⁰ tn The words “I did this” are not in the Hebrew text, but are supplied for stylistic reasons. Verses 15-16 are one long sentence in the Hebrew text. The translation divides this sentence into two for stylistic reasons.

[20:16]  ⁴¹ tn Heb “for after their idols their heart was going.” The use of the active participle (“was going”) in the Hebrew text draws attention to the ongoing nature of their idolatrous behavior.

[20:24]  ⁴² tn The words “I did this” are not in the Hebrew text, but are supplied for stylistic reasons. Verses 23-24 are one long sentence in the Hebrew text. The translation divides this sentence into two for stylistic reasons.

[20:24]  ⁴³ tn Or “they worshiped” (NCV, TEV, CEV); Heb “their eyes were on” or “were after” (cf. v. 16).

[20:32]  ⁴⁴ tn Heb “what comes upon your mind.”

[20:32]  ⁴⁵ tn The Hebrew could also read: “Let us be.”

[20:32]  ⁴⁶ tn Heb “serving wood and stone.”

[20:32]  sn This verse echoes the content of 1 Sam 8:20.

[20:33]  ⁴⁷ sn This phrase occurs frequently in Deuteronomy (Deut 4:34; 5:15; 7:19; 11:2; 26:8).

[20:38]  ⁴⁸ tn See the note at 2:3.

[21:13]  ⁴⁹ tn Heb “For testing (will come) and what if also a scepter, it despises, will not be?” The translation understands the subject of the verb “despises,” which is a feminine form in the Hebrew text, to be the sword (which is a feminine noun) mentioned in the previous verses. The text is very difficult and any rendering is uncertain.

[21:26]  ⁵⁰ tn Elsewhere in the Bible the turban is worn by priests (Exod 28:4, 37, 39; 29:6; 39:28, 31; Lev 8:9; 16:4), but here a royal crown is in view.

[21:26]  ⁵¹ tn Heb “This not this.”

[21:26]  ⁵² tn Heb “the high one.”

[21:27]  ⁵³ tn Heb “A ruin, a ruin, a ruin I will make it.” The threefold repetition of the noun “ruin” is for emphasis and draws attention to the degree of ruin that would take place. See IBHS 233 §12.5a and GKC 431-32 §133.k. The pronominal suffix (translated “it”) on the verb “make” is feminine in Hebrew. The probable antecedent is the “turban/crown” (both nouns are feminine in form) mentioned in verse 26. The point is that the king’s royal splendor would be completely devastated as judgment overtook his realm and brought his reign to a violent end.

[21:27]  ⁵⁴ tn Heb “Also this, he was not, until the coming of the one to whom the judgment belongs and I have given it.” The Hebrew text, as it stands, is grammatically difficult. The pronoun “this” is feminine, while the following negated verb (“was not”) is masculine. Some emend the verb to a feminine form (see BHS). In this case the statement refers to the destiny of the king’s turban/crown (symbolizing his reign). See the previous note. The preposition translated “when” normally means “until,” but here it seems to refer to the period during which the preceding situation is realized, rather than its termination point. See L. C. Allen, Ezekiel (WBC), 2:19, 21. The second part of the statement, though awkward, probably refers to the arrival of the Babylonian king, to whom the Lord had assigned the task of judgment (see 23:24). Or the verse may read “A total ruin I will make, even this. It will not be until the one comes to whom is (the task of) judgment and I have assigned it.”

[21:32]  ⁵⁵ tn Heb “your blood will be in the middle of the land.”

[22:28]  ⁵⁶ tn Heb “her prophets coat for themselves with whitewash.” The expression may be based on Ezek 13:10-15.

[22:29]  ⁵⁷ tn Heb “and the foreigner they have oppressed without justice.”

[22:30]  ⁵⁸ tn Heb “I did not find.”

[23:8]  ⁵⁹ tn Heb “and poured out their harlotry on her.”

[24:27]  ⁶⁰ tn Heb “your mouth will open.”

[25:10]  ⁶¹ tn Heb “I will give it for a possession.”

[25:10]  ⁶² tn Heb “the sons of Ammon” (twice in this verse).

[25:10]  ⁶³ tn Heb “the sons.”

[26:14]  ⁶⁴ sn This prophecy was fulfilled by Alexander the Great in 332 b.c.

[28:24]  ⁶⁵ sn Similar language is used in reference to Israel’s adversaries in Num 33:55; Josh 23:13.

[28:24]  ⁶⁶ tn Heb “and there will not be for the house of Israel a brier that pricks and a thorn that inflicts pain from all the ones who surround them, the ones who scorn them.”

[29:16]  ⁶⁷ tn Heb “reminding of iniquity when they turned after them.”

[32:7]  ⁶⁸ tn Heb “will not shine its light.” For similar features of cosmic eschatology, see Joel 2:10; 4:15; Amos 5:18-20; Zeph 1:5.

[33:4]  ⁶⁹ tn Heb “his blood will be on his own head.”

[33:5]  ⁷⁰ tn Heb “his blood will be on him.”

[33:8]  ⁷¹ tn The same expression occurs in Gen 2:17.

[33:8]  ⁷² tn Heb “and you do not speak to warn.”

[33:8]  ⁷³ tn Heb “way.”

[33:8]  ⁷⁴ tn Heb “and his blood from your hand I will seek.”

[33:9]  ⁷⁵ tn Heb “from his way to turn from it.”

[33:9]  ⁷⁶ tn Heb “and he does not turn from his way.”

[33:15]  ⁷⁷ tn Heb “the wicked one.”

[33:15]  ⁷⁸ tn Heb “and in the statutes of life he walks.”

[36:7]  ⁷⁹ tn Heb “I lifted up my hand.”

[36:31]  ⁸⁰ tn Heb “ways.”

[36:32]  ⁸¹ tn Heb “Let it be known.”

[38:14]  ⁸² tn The Hebrew text is framed as a rhetorical question: “will you not take notice?”

[38:19]  ⁸³ sn The phrase “in the fire of my fury” occurs in Ezek 21:31; 22:21, 31.

[38:19]  ⁸⁴ tn Or “shaking.”

[39:28]  ⁸⁵ tn Heb “there,” referring to the foreign nations to which they were exiled. The translation makes the referent clear.

[39:29]  ⁸⁶ sn See Ezek 11:19; 37:14.

[44:22]  ⁸⁷ tn Heb “from the offspring of the house of Israel.”

[48:11]  ⁸⁸ tn Heb “strayed off.”
