1 sn The number 40 may refer in general to the period of Judah’s exile using the number of years Israel was punished in the wilderness. In this case, however, one would need to translate, “you will bear the punishment of the house of Judah.”
2 tn Heb, “break the staff of bread.” The bread supply is compared to a staff that one uses for support.

5 tn Heb “she defied my laws, becoming wicked more than the nations, and [she defied] my statutes [becoming wicked] more than the countries around her.”
6 sn One might conclude that the subject of the plural verbs is the nations/countries, but the context (vv. 5-6a) indicates that the people of Jerusalem are in view. The text shifts from using the feminine singular (referring to personified Jerusalem) to the plural (referring to Jerusalem’s residents). See L. C. Allen, Ezekiel (WBC), 1:73.
7 sn I will stretch out my hand against them is a common expression in the book of Ezekiel (14:9, 13; 16:27; 25:7; 35:3).
8 tc The Vulgate reads the name as “Riblah,” a city north of Damascus. The MT reads Diblah, a city otherwise unknown. The letters resh (ר) and dalet (ד) may have been confused in the Hebrew text. The town of Riblah was in the land of Hamath (2 Kgs 23:33) which represented the northern border of Israel (Ezek 47:14).
9 tn The meaning of the Hebrew term is primarily emotional: “to pity,” which in context implies an action, as in being moved by pity in order to spare them from the horror of their punishment.
10 tn The pronoun “you” is not in the Hebrew text, but is implied.
11 tn “I will set your behavior on your head.”
12 tn Heb “and your abominable practices will be among you.”

16 tn Heb “fell.”
17 tn The Hebrew verb commonly means “to say,” but may also mean “to think” (see also v. 3).
18 tn Heb “I know the steps of your spirits.”
19 tc The LXX reads this statement as a question. Compare this to the question in 9:8. It is possible that the interrogative particle has been omitted by haplography. However, an exclamatory statement as in the MT also makes sense and the LXX may have simply tried to harmonize this passage with 9:8.
20 tn Heb “from your hand(s).” This refers to their power over the people.

27 tn The verbs and persons in this verse are plural whereas the individual has been the subject of the chapter.
28 tn Or “leading to punishment.”
29 tn Heb “will you judge.” Here the imperfect form of the verb is probably used with a desiderative nuance. Addressed to the prophet, “judge” means to warn of or pronounce God’s impending judgment upon the city. See 20:4.
30 tn The phrase “bloody city” is used of Nineveh in Nah 3:1.
31 tn Heb “her time”; this refers to the time of impending judgment (see the note on “doom” in v. 4).
32 tn Heb “into it”; the referent of the feminine pronoun has been specified in the translation for clarity.
33 tn Heb “by a sword against it.”
34 sn Similar language is used in reference to Israel’s adversaries in Num 33:55; Josh 23:13.
35 tn Heb “and there will not be for the house of Israel a brier that pricks and a thorn that inflicts pain from all the ones who surround them, the ones who scorn them.”
36 tn Heb “reminding of iniquity when they turned after them.”
37 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.
38 tn Heb “I will grant you an open mouth.”
39 tn Heb “his blood will be on his own head.”
