Ezekiel 21:30

21:30 Return it to its sheath! ¹ 

In the place where you were created, ² 

in your native land, I will judge you.

Ezekiel 11:11

11:11 This city will not be a cooking pot for you, and you will not ³  be meat within it; I will judge you at the border of Israel.

Ezekiel 20:36

20:36 Just as I entered into judgment with your fathers in the wilderness of the land of Egypt, so I will enter into judgment with you, declares the sovereign Lord.

Ezekiel 18:30

18:30 “Therefore I will judge each person according to his conduct, ⁴  O house of Israel, declares the sovereign Lord. Repent ⁵  and turn from all your wickedness; then it will not be an obstacle leading to iniquity. ⁶ 

¹ sn Once the Babylonian king’s sword (vv. 19-20) has carried out its assigned task, the Lord commands it to halt and announces that Babylon itself will also experience his judgment. See L. C. Allen, Ezekiel (WBC), 2:28.

² tn In the Hebrew text of vv. 30-32 the second person verbal and pronominal forms are feminine singular. This may indicate that the personified Babylonian sword is being addressed. The Hebrew word for “sword” (see v. 28) is feminine. However, it may refer to the Ammonites.

³ tn The Hebrew text does not have the negative particle, but it is implied. The negative particle in the previous line does double duty here.

⁵ tn Heb “ways.”

⁶ tn The verbs and persons in this verse are plural whereas the individual has been the subject of the chapter.

⁷ tn Or “leading to punishment.”
