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.”
3 tn The literal role of a watchman is described in 2 Sam 18:24; 2 Kgs 9:17.
4 tn The Hebrew word occurs only here in the OT.
5 tn The words “to your clients” are not in the Hebrew text but are implied.
6 tn Heb “I will cause a horn to sprout for the house of Israel.” The horn is used as a figure for military power in the OT (Ps 92:10). A similar expression is made about the Davidic dynasty in Ps 132:17.
7 tn Heb “I will grant you an open mouth.”
8 tn Heb “the wicked one.”
9 tn Heb “and in the statutes of life he walks.”
10 tn Or “spirit.” This is likely an allusion to Gen 2 and God’s breath which creates life.
11 tn Heb has in addition “from your contributions,” a repetition unnecessary in English.
12 tn Or “as much as he wishes.” Heb “a gift of his hand.”
13 tn Heb “a hin of oil.” A hin was about 1/16 of a bath. See L. C. Allen, Ezekiel (WBC), 2:266, and O. R. Sellers, “Weights,” IDB 4:835 g.
14 tn The Hebrew text has no preposition; the LXX reads “from” (see v. 17).
