Ezekiel 21:26

21:26 this is what the sovereign Lord says:

Tear off the turban, 1 

take off the crown!

Things must change! 2 

Exalt the lowly,

bring down the proud! 3 

Ezekiel 38:23

38:23 I will exalt and magnify myself; I will reveal myself before many nations. Then they will know that I am the Lord.’

1 tn Elsewhere in the Bible the turban is worn by priests (Exod 28:4, 37, 39; 29:6; 39:28, 31; Lev 8:9; 16:4), but here a royal crown is in view.

2 tn Heb “This not this.”

3 tn Heb “the high one.”
