Ezekiel 24:11

24:11 Set the empty pot on the coals, 1 

until it becomes hot and its copper glows,

until its uncleanness melts within it and its rot 2  is consumed.

Ezekiel 24:23

24:23 Your turbans will be on your heads and your sandals on your feet; you will not mourn or weep, but you will rot 3  for your iniquities 4  and groan among yourselves.

1 tn Heb “set it upon its coals, empty.”

2 tn Or “rust” (so also in v. 12).

3 tn The same verb appears in 4:17 and 33:10.

4 tn Or “in your punishment.” The phrase “in/for [a person’s] iniquity/punishment” occurs fourteen times in Ezekiel: here; 3:18, 19; 4:17; 7:13, 16; 18:17, 18, 19, 20; 33:6, 8, 9; 39:23. The Hebrew word for “iniquity” may also mean the “punishment” for iniquity or “guilt” of iniquity.
