Ezekiel 3:9

Context
3:9 I have made your forehead harder than flint – like diamond! 1  Do not fear them or be terrified of the looks they give you, 2  for they are a rebellious house.”

Ezekiel 21:15

Context

21:15 So hearts melt with fear and many stumble.

At all their gates I have stationed the sword for slaughter.

Ah! It is made to flash, it is drawn for slaughter!

1 tn The Hebrew term translated “diamond” is parallel to “iron” in Jer 17:1. The Hebrew uses two terms which are both translated at times as “flint,” but here one is clearly harder than the other. The translation “diamond” attempts to reflect this distinction in English.

2 tn Heb “of their faces.”
