1 tn Heb “break its staff of bread.”
2 tn The Hebrew word occurs only here in the OT.
3 tn Heb “in the seeing concerning you falsehood, in divining concerning you a lie.” This probably refers to the attempts of the Ammonites to ward off judgment through prophetic visions and divination.
4 tn Heb “you”; the referent (the sword mentioned in v. 28) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
5 sn The second half of the verse appears to state that the sword of judgment would fall upon the wicked, despite their efforts to prevent it.
6 tn Heb “sons of your people.”
7 tn Heb “one to one, a man to his brother.”
8 tn Heb “comes out.”
9 tn Heb “as people come.” Apparently this is an idiom indicating that they come in crowds. See D. I. Block, Ezekiel (NICOT), 2:264.
10 tn The word “as” is supplied in the translation.
11 tn Heb “do.”
12 tn Heb “They do lust with their mouths.”
13 tn Heb “goes after.”
14 tn The present translation understands the term often used for “unjust gain” in a wider sense, following M. Greenberg, who also notes that the LXX uses a term which can describe either sexual or ritual pollution. See M. Greenberg, Ezekiel (AB), 2:687.
15 tn Heb “showers of blessing.” Abundant rain, which in turn produces fruit and crops (v. 27), is a covenantal blessing for obedience (Lev 26:4).
16 tn Heb “go up.”
