Ezekiel 3:25

3:25 As for you, son of man, they will put ropes on you and tie you up with them, so you cannot go out among them.

Ezekiel 26:21

26:21 I will bring terrors on you, and you will be no more! Though you are sought after, you will never be found again, declares the sovereign Lord.”

Ezekiel 29:7

and when they leaned on you, you splintered and caused their legs to be unsteady. ³ 

Ezekiel 34:3

34:3 You eat the fat, you clothe yourselves with the wool, you slaughter the choice animals, but you do not feed the sheep!

Ezekiel 36:12

36:12 I will lead people, my people Israel, across you; they will possess you and you will become their inheritance. No longer will you bereave them of their children.

Ezekiel 39:19

39:19 You will eat fat until you are full, and drink blood until you are drunk, ⁴  at my slaughter ⁵  which I have made for you.

¹ tn The Hebrew consonantal text (Kethib) has “by your hand,” but the marginal reading (Qere) has simply “by the hand.” The LXX reads “with their hand.”

² tn Or perhaps “dislocated.”

³ tn Heb “you caused to stand for them all their hips.” An emendation which switches two letters but is supported by the LXX yields the reading “you caused all their hips to shake.” See L. C. Allen, Ezekiel (WBC), 2:103. In 2 Kgs 18:21 and Isa 36:6 trusting in the Pharaoh is compared to leaning on a staff. The oracle may reflect Hophra’s attempt to aid Jerusalem (Jer 37:5-8).

⁴ sn Eating the fat and drinking blood were God’s exclusive rights in Israelite sacrifices (Lev 3:17).

⁵ tn Or “sacrifice” (so also in the rest of this verse).
