Yehezkiel 31:11-12

31:11 I gave it over to the leader of the nations. He has judged it thoroughly, ¹  as its sinfulness deserves. I have thrown it out. 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 ²  have departed ³  from its shade and left it.

[31:11]  ¹ tn Heb “acting he has acted with regard to it.” The infinitive absolute precedes the main verb to emphasize the certainty and decisiveness of the action depicted.

[31:12]  ² tn Or “earth” (KJV, ASV, NASB, NIV, NRSV).

[31:12]  ³ tn Heb “gone down.”
