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 23:35

Context

23:35 “Therefore this is what the sovereign Lord says: Because you have forgotten me and completely disregarded me, 4  you must bear now the punishment 5  for your obscene conduct and prostitution.”

Ezekiel 35:5

Context

35:5 “‘You have shown unrelenting hostility and poured the people of Israel onto the blades of a sword 6  at the time of their calamity, at the time of their final punishment.

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 “and you cast me behind your back.” The expression pictures her rejection of the Lord (see 1 Kgs 14:9).

5 tn The word “punishment” is not in the Hebrew text but is demanded by the context.

6 tn Or “gave over…to the power of the sword.” This phrase also occurs in Jer 18:21 and Ps 63:10.
