Ezekiel 7:22

7:22 I will turn my face away from them and they will desecrate my treasured place. ¹  Vandals will enter it and desecrate it. ² 

Ezekiel 11:18

11:18 “When they return to it, they will remove from it all its detestable things and all its abominations.

Ezekiel 23:24

23:24 They will attack ³  you with weapons, ⁴  chariots, wagons, and with a huge army; ⁵  they will array themselves against you on every side with large shields, small shields, and helmets. I will assign them the task of judgment; ⁶  they will punish you according to their laws.

Ezekiel 47:8

47:8 He said to me, “These waters go out toward the eastern region and flow down into the Arabah; when they enter the Dead Sea, ⁷  where the sea is stagnant, ⁸  the waters become fresh. ⁹ 

Ezekiel 39:17

39:17 “As for you, son of man, this is what the sovereign Lord says: Tell every kind of bird and every wild beast: ‘Assemble and come! Gather from all around to my slaughter ¹⁰  which I am going to make for you, a great slaughter on the mountains of Israel! You will eat flesh and drink blood.

¹ sn My treasured place probably refers to the temple (however, cf. NLT “my treasured land”).

² sn Since the pronouns “it” are both feminine, they do not refer to the masculine “my treasured place”; instead they probably refer to Jerusalem or the land, both of which are feminine in Hebrew.

³ tn Heb “come against.”

⁴ tn This is the only occurrence of this term in the OT. The precise meaning is uncertain.

⁵ tn Heb “an assembly of peoples.”

⁶ tn Heb “I will place before them judgment.”

⁵ tn Heb “the sea,” referring to the Dead Sea. This has been specified in the translation for clarity.

⁶ tn Heb “to the sea, those which are brought out.” The reading makes no sense. The text is best emended to read “filthy” (i.e., stagnant). See L. C. Allen, Ezekiel (WBC), 2:273.

⁷ tn Heb “the waters become healed.”

⁷ tn Or “sacrifice” (so also in the rest of this verse).
