6:12 The one far away will die by pestilence, the one close by will fall by the sword, and whoever is left and has escaped these 1  will die by famine. I will fully vent my rage against them.

23:29 They will treat you with hatred, take away all you have labored for, 4  and leave you naked and bare. Your nakedness will be exposed, just as when you engaged in prostitution and obscene conduct. 5 

Ezekiel 24:16

Ezekiel 45:9

45:9 “‘This is what the sovereign Lord says: Enough, you princes of Israel! Put away violence and destruction, and do what is just and right. Put an end to your evictions of my people, 8  declares the sovereign Lord.

1 tn Heb “the one who is left, the one who is spared.”

2 tn Heb “a conspiracy of her prophets is in her midst.” The LXX reads “whose princes” rather than “a conspiracy of prophets.” The prophets are mentioned later in the paragraph (v. 28). If one follows the LXX in verse 25, then five distinct groups are mentioned in vv. 25-29: princes, priests, officials, prophets, and the people of the land. For a defense of the Septuagintal reading, see L. C. Allen, Ezekiel (WBC), 2:32, and D. I. Block, Ezekiel (NICOT), 1:720, n. 4.

3 tn Heb “her widows they have multiplied.” The statement alludes to their murderous acts.

4 tn The Hebrew term means “labor,” but by extension it can also refer to that for which one works.

5 tn Heb “The nakedness of your prostitution will be exposed, and your obscene conduct and your harlotry.”

6 tn Heb “a strike.”

7 tn Heb “his blood will be on his own head.”

8 sn Evictions of the less fortunate by the powerful are described in 1 Kgs 21:1-16; Jer 22:1-5, 13-17; Ezek 22:25.
