Ezekiel 21:29

while seeing false visions for you and reading lying omens for you ¹  – to place that sword ²  on the necks of the profane wicked, ³  whose day has come, the time of final punishment.

Job 18:20; Ps 37:13; Isa 44:25; Isa 47:13; Jer 27:9; La 2:14; Eze 12:24; Eze 13:10; Eze 13:23; Eze 21:25; Eze 22:28

¹ tn Heb “in the seeing concerning you falsehood, in divining concerning you a lie.” This probably refers to the attempts of the Ammonites to ward off judgment through prophetic visions and divination.

² tn Heb “you”; the referent (the sword mentioned in v. 28) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

³ sn The second half of the verse appears to state that the sword of judgment would fall upon the wicked, despite their efforts to prevent it.
