Yehezkiel 21:29

21:29 while seeing false visions for you

and reading lying omens for you ¹  –

to place that sword ²  on the necks of the profane wicked, ³ 

whose day has come,

the time of final punishment.

Yehezkiel 38:8

38:8 After many days you will be summoned; in the latter years you will come to a land restored from the ravages of war, ⁴  with many peoples gathered on the mountains of Israel that had long been in ruins. Its people ⁵  were brought out from the peoples, and all of them will be living securely.

Yehezkiel 38:16

38:16 You will advance ⁶  against my people Israel like a cloud covering the earth. In the latter days I will bring you against my land so that the nations may acknowledge me, when before their eyes I magnify myself ⁷  through you, O Gog.

[21:29]  ¹ tn Heb “in the seeing concerning you falsehood, in divining concerning you a lie.” This probably refers to the attempts of the Ammonites to ward off judgment through prophetic visions and divination.

[21:29]  ² tn Heb “you”; the referent (the sword mentioned in v. 28) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[21:29]  ³ sn The second half of the verse appears to state that the sword of judgment would fall upon the wicked, despite their efforts to prevent it.

[38:8]  ⁴ tn Heb “from the sword.”

[38:8]  ⁵ tn Heb “it.”

[38:16]  ⁶ tn Heb “come up.”

[38:16]  ⁷ tn Or “reveal my holiness.”
