Ezekiel 6:9

Context
6:9 Then your survivors will remember me among the nations where they are exiled. They will realize 1  how I was crushed by their unfaithful 2  heart which turned from me and by their eyes which lusted after their idols. They will loathe themselves 3  because of the evil they have done and because of all their abominable practices.

Ezekiel 18:24

Context

18:24 “But if a righteous man turns away from his righteousness and practices wrongdoing according to all the abominable practices the wicked carry out, will he live? All his righteous acts will not be remembered; because of the unfaithful acts he has done and the sin he has committed, he will die. 4 

Ezekiel 39:23

Context
39:23 The nations will know that the house of Israel went into exile due to their iniquity, 5  for they were unfaithful to me. So I hid my face from them and handed them over to their enemies; all of them died by the sword.

1 tn The words “they will realize” are not in the Hebrew text; they are added here for stylistic reasons since this clause assumes the previous verb “to remember” or “to take into account.”

2 tn Heb “how I was broken by their adulterous heart.” The image of God being “broken” is startling, but perfectly natural within the metaphorical framework of God as offended husband. The idiom must refer to the intense grief that Israel’s unfaithfulness caused God. For a discussion of the syntax and semantics of the Hebrew text, see M. Greenberg, Ezekiel (AB), 1:134.

3 tn Heb adds “in their faces.”

4 tn Heb “because of them he will die.”

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