Yehezkiel 4:7

4:7 You must turn your face toward the siege of Jerusalem with your arm bared and prophesy against it.

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 23:36

23:36 The Lord said to me: “Son of man, are you willing to pronounce judgment ¹  on Oholah and Oholibah? Then declare to them their abominable deeds!

Yehezkiel 35:13

35:13 You exalted yourselves against me with your speech ²  and hurled many insults against me ³  – I have heard them all!

Yehezkiel 37:18

37:18 When your people ⁴  say to you, ‘Will you not tell us what these things mean?’

[23:36]  ¹ tn Heb “will you judge.” Here the imperfect form of the verb is probably used with a desiderative nuance. Addressed to the prophet, “judge” means to warn of or pronounce God’s impending judgment. See 20:4; 22:2.

[35:13]  ² tn Heb “your mouth.”

[35:13]  ³ tn Heb “and you multiplied against me your words.” The Hebrew verb occurs only here and in Prov 27:6, where it refers to the “excessive” kisses of an enemy. The basic idea of the verb appears to be “to be abundant.” Here it occurs in the causative (Hiphil) stem.

[37:18]  ⁴ tn Heb “the sons of your people.”
