Ezekiel 7:19

7:19 They will discard their silver in the streets, and their gold will be treated like filth. 1  Their silver and gold will not be able to deliver them on the day of the Lord’s fury. 2  They will not satisfy their hunger or fill their stomachs because their wealth 3  was the obstacle leading to their iniquity. 4 

Ezekiel 27:27

27:27 Your wealth, products, and merchandise, your sailors and captains,

your ship’s carpenters, 5  your merchants,

and all your fighting men within you,

along with all your crew who are in you,

will fall into the heart of the seas on the day of your downfall.

Ezekiel 29:19

29:19 Therefore this is what the sovereign Lord says: Look, I am about to give the land of Egypt to King Nebuchadrezzar of Babylon. He will carry off her wealth, capture her loot, and seize her plunder; it will be his army’s wages.

1 tn The Hebrew term can refer to menstrual impurity. The term also occurs at the end of v. 20.

2 sn Compare Zeph 1:18.

3 tn Heb “it.” Apparently the subject is the silver and gold mentioned earlier (see L. C. Allen, Ezekiel [WBC], 1:102).

4 tn The “stumbling block of their iniquity” is a unique phrase of the prophet Ezekiel (Ezek 14:3, 4, 7; 18:30; 44:12).

5 tn Heb “your repairers of damage.” See v. 9.
