Ezekiel 22:16

22:16 You will be profaned within yourself ¹  in the sight of the nations; then you will know that I am the Lord.’”

Ezekiel 22:31

22:31 So I have poured my anger on them, and destroyed them with the fire of my fury. I hereby repay them for what they have done, ²  declares the sovereign Lord.”

¹ tc Several ancient versions read the verb as first person, in which case the Lord refers to how his people’s sin brings disgrace upon him. For a defense of the Hebrew text, see D. I. Block, Ezekiel (NICOT), 1:712, n. 68, and M. Greenberg, Ezekiel (AB), 2:457-58.

tn The phrase “within yourself” is the same as the several previous occurrences of “within you” but adjusted to fit this clause which is the culmination of the series of indictments.

² tn Heb “their way on their head I have placed.”
