Yehezkiel 16:13
Konteks16:13 You were adorned with gold and silver, while your clothing was of fine linen, silk, and embroidery. You ate the finest flour, honey, and olive oil. You became extremely beautiful and attained the position of royalty.
Yehezkiel 17:9
Konteks17:9 “‘Say to them: This is what the sovereign Lord says:
“‘Will it prosper?
Will he not rip out its roots
and cause its fruit to rot 1 and wither?
All its foliage 2 will wither.
No strong arm or large army
will be needed to pull it out by its roots. 3
[17:9] 1 tn The Hebrew root occurs only here in the OT and appears to have the meaning of “strip off.” In application to fruit the meaning may be “cause to rot.”
[17:9] 2 tn Heb “all the טַרְפֵּי (tarpey) of branches.” The word טַרְפֵּי occurs only here in the Bible; its precise meaning is uncertain.
[17:9] 3 tn Or “there will be no strong arm or large army when it is pulled up by the roots.”
