Ezekiel 20:8
Context20:8 But they rebelled against me, and refused to listen to me; no one got rid of their detestable idols, 2 nor did they abandon the idols of Egypt. Then I decided to pour out 3 my rage on them and fully vent my anger against them in the midst of the land of Egypt.
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.
2 tn Heb “each one, the detestable things of their eyes did not throw away.”
3 tn Heb “and I said/thought to pour out.”
