Ezekiel 21:29

21:29 while seeing false visions for you

and reading lying omens for you

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

whose day has come,

the time of final punishment.


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.

tn Heb “you”; the referent (the sword mentioned in v. 28) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

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.
