Ezekiel 17:19-21

Context

17:19 “‘Therefore this is what the sovereign Lord says: As surely as I live, I will certainly repay him 1  for despising my oath and breaking my covenant! 17:20 I will throw my net over him and he will be caught in my snare; I will bring him to Babylon and judge him there because of the unfaithfulness he committed against me. 17:21 All the choice men 2  among his troops will die 3  by the sword and the survivors will be scattered to every wind. Then you will know that I, the Lord, have spoken!

1 tn Heb “place it on his head.”

2 tc Some manuscripts and versions read “choice men,” while most manuscripts read “fugitives”; the difference arises from the reversal, or metathesis, of two letters, מִבְרָחָיו (mivrakhyv) for מִבְחָריו (mivkharyv).

3 tn Heb “fall.”
