Ezekiel 24:14

24:14 “‘I the Lord have spoken; judgment 1  is coming and I will act! I will not relent, or show pity, or be sorry! 2  I will judge you 3  according to your conduct 4  and your deeds, declares the sovereign Lord.’”

Ezekiel 30:3

30:3 For the day is near,

the day of the Lord is near;

it will be a day of storm clouds, 5 

it will be a time of judgment 6  for the nations.

Ezekiel 34:16

34:16 I will seek the lost and bring back the strays; I will bandage the injured and strengthen the sick, but the fat and the strong I will destroy. I will feed them – with judgment!

1 tn Heb “it”; the referent has been specified in the translation for clarity.

2 tn Or perhaps, “change my mind.”

3 tc Some medieval Hebrew mss and the major ancient versions read a first person verb here. Most Hebrew mss read have an indefinite subject, “they will judge you,” which could be translated, “you will be judged.”

4 tn Heb “ways.”

5 tn Heb “a day of clouds.” The expression occurs also in Joel 2:2 and Zeph 1:15; it recalls the appearance of God at Mount Sinai (Exod 19:9, 16, 18).

6 tn Heb “a time.” The words “of judgment” have been added in the translation for clarification (see the following verses).
