1 tn Heb “will you judge.” Here the imperfect form of the verb is probably used with a desiderative nuance. Addressed to the prophet, “judge” means to warn of or pronounce God’s impending judgment upon the city. See 20:4.
2 tn The phrase “bloody city” is used of Nineveh in Nah 3:1.
3 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.
4 tn Heb “her widows they have multiplied.” The statement alludes to their murderous acts.
5 tn Heb “come down.”
6 sn Syene is known as Aswan today.
7 tn Heb “whose.”
8 tn The only other occurrence of the phrase “remote slopes of the pit” is in Isa 14:15.
9 tn Heb “around him her graves,” but the expression is best emended to read “around her grave” (see vv. 23-24).
