Ezekiel 23:40

23:40 “They even sent for men from far away; when the messenger arrived, those men set out. 1  For them you bathed, 2  painted your eyes, and decorated yourself with jewelry.

Ezekiel 29:5

29:5 I will leave you in the wilderness,

you and all the fish of your waterways;

you will fall in the open field and will not be gathered up or collected. 3 

I have given you as food to the beasts of the earth and the birds of the skies.

Ezekiel 37:25

37:25 They will live in the land I gave to my servant Jacob, in which your fathers lived; they will live in it – they and their children and their grandchildren forever. David my servant will be prince over them forever.

1 tn Heb “to whom a messenger was sent, and look, they came.” Foreign alliances are in view here.

2 tn The Hebrew verb form is feminine singular, indicating that Oholibah (Judah) is specifically addressed here. This address continues through verse 42a (note “her”), but then both sisters are described in verse 42b, where the feminine pronouns are again plural.

3 tc Some Hebrew mss, the Targum, and the LXX read “buried.”
