Ezekiel 21:29

Context

21:29 while seeing false visions for you

and reading lying omens for you 1 

to place that sword 2  on the necks of the profane wicked, 3 

whose day has come,

the time of final punishment.

Ezekiel 22:28

Context
22:28 Her prophets coat their messages with whitewash. 4  They see false visions and announce lying omens for them, saying, ‘This is what the sovereign Lord says,’ when the Lord has not spoken.

1 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.

2 tn Heb “you”; the referent (the sword mentioned in v. 28) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

3 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.

4 tn Heb “her prophets coat for themselves with whitewash.” The expression may be based on Ezek 13:10-15.
