Ezekiel 4:16-17

Context

4:16 Then he said to me, “Son of man, I am about to remove the bread supply 1  in Jerusalem. 2  They will eat their bread ration anxiously, and they will drink their water ration in terror 4:17 because they will lack bread and water. Each one will be terrified, and they will rot for their iniquity. 3 

1 tn Heb, “break the staff of bread.” The bread supply is compared to a staff that one uses for support.

3 tn Or “in their punishment.” Ezek 4:16-17 alludes to Lev 26:26, 39. The phrase “in/for [a person’s] iniquity” occurs fourteen times in Ezekiel: here, 3:18, 19; 7:13, 16; 18: 17, 18, 19, 20; 24:23; 33:6, 8, 9; 39:23. The Hebrew word for “iniquity” may also mean the “punishment for iniquity.”
