Ezekiel 23:18

23:18 When she lustfully exposed her nakedness, ¹  I ²  was disgusted with her, just as I ³  had been disgusted with her sister.

Hosea 9:12

9:12 Even if they raise their children,

I will take away every last one of them. ⁴ 

Woe to them!

For I will turn away from them.

Zechariah 11:8-9

11:8 Next I eradicated the three shepherds in one month, ⁵  for I ran out of patience with them and, indeed, they detested me as well. 11:9 I then said, “I will not shepherd you. What is to die, let it die, and what is to be eradicated, let it be eradicated. As for those who survive, let them eat each other’s flesh!”

¹ tn Heb “She exposed her harlotry and she exposed her nakedness.”

² tn Heb “my soul.”

³ tn Heb “my soul.”

⁴ tn Heb “I will bereave them from a man”; NRSV “I will bereave them until no one is left.”

⁵ sn Zechariah is only dramatizing what God had done historically (see the note on the word “cedars” in 11:1). The “one month” probably means just any short period of time in which three kings ruled in succession. Likely candidates are Elah, Zimri, Tibni (1 Kgs 16:8-20); Zechariah, Shallum, Menahem (2 Kgs 15:8-16); or Jehoiakim, Jehoiachin, Zedekiah (2 Kgs 24:1–25:7).
