Ezekiel 5:15

5:15 You will be ¹  an object of scorn and taunting, ²  a prime example of destruction ³  among the nations around you when I execute judgments against you in anger and raging fury. ⁴  I, the Lord, have spoken!

Ezekiel 11:24

11:24 Then a wind ⁵  lifted me up and carried me to the exiles in Babylonia, ⁶  in the vision given to me by the Spirit of God.

Then the vision I had seen went up from me.

Ezekiel 16:19

16:19 As for my food that I gave you – the fine flour, olive oil, and honey I fed you – you placed it before them as a soothing aroma. That is exactly what happened, declares the sovereign Lord.

Ezekiel 20:22

20:22 But I refrained from doing so, ⁷  and acted instead for the sake of my reputation, so that I would not be profaned before the nations in whose sight I had brought them out.

Ezekiel 47:17

47:17 The border will run from the sea to Hazar-enan, at the border of Damascus, and on the north is the border of Hamath. This is the north side.

¹ tc This reading is supported by the versions and by the Dead Sea Scrolls (11QEzek). Most Masoretic Hebrew mss read “it will be,” but if the final he (ה) is read as a mater lectionis, as it can be with the second masculine singular perfect, then they are in agreement. In either case the subject refers to Jerusalem.

² tn The Hebrew word occurs only here in the OT. A related verb means “revile, taunt” (see Ps 44:16).

³ tn Heb “discipline and devastation.” These words are omitted in the Old Greek. The first term pictures Jerusalem as a recipient or example of divine discipline; the second depicts her as a desolate ruin (see Ezek 6:14).

⁴ tn Heb “in anger and in fury and in rebukes of fury.” The heaping up of synonyms emphasizes the degree of God’s anger.

⁵ tn Or “spirit.” See note on “wind” in 2:2.

⁶ tn Heb “to Chaldea.”

⁹ tn Heb “drew my hand back.” This idiom also occurs in Lam 2:8 and Ps 74:11.
