Yehezkiel 31:15

31:15 “‘This is what the sovereign Lord says: On the day it ¹  went down to Sheol I caused observers to lament. ²  I covered it with the deep and held back its rivers; its plentiful water was restrained. I clothed Lebanon in black for it, and all the trees of the field wilted because of it.

Yehezkiel 38:20

38:20 The fish of the sea, the birds of the sky, the wild beasts, all the things that creep on the ground, and all people who live on the face of the earth will shake ³  at my presence. The mountains will topple, the cliffs ⁴  will fall, and every wall will fall to the ground.

[31:15]  ¹ tn Or “he.”

[31:15]  ² tn Heb “I caused lamentation.” D. I. Block (Ezekiel [NICOT], 2:194-95) proposes an alternative root which would give the meaning “I gated back the waters,” i.e., shut off the water supply.

[38:20]  ³ tn Or “tremble.”

[38:20]  ⁴ tn The term occurs only here and in Song of Songs 2:14.
