the fire of my fury I will blow on you.

I will hand you over to brutal men,

who are skilled in destruction.

Ezekiel 32:10

When I brandish my sword before them,

every moment each one will tremble for his life, on the day of your fall.

¹ tn Or “punish” (cf. BDB 1047 s.v. שָׁפַט 3.c).

² tn Heb “ways.”

³ tn Heb “I will place on you.”

⁴ tn The meaning of the Hebrew term is primarily emotional: “to pity,” which in context implies an action, as in being moved by pity in order to spare them from the horror of their punishment.

⁵ tn The pronoun “you” is not in the Hebrew text, but is implied.

⁶ tn “I will set your behavior on your head.”

⁷ tn Heb “and your abominable practices will be among you.”

⁷ tn The expression “to pour out rage” also occurs in Ezek 9:8; 14:19; 20:8, 13, 21; 22:31; 30:15; 36:18.

¹⁰ tn Heb “come against.”

¹¹ tn This is the only occurrence of this term in the OT. The precise meaning is uncertain.

¹² tn Heb “an assembly of peoples.”

¹³ tn Heb “I will place before them judgment.”

¹³ tn The word הִנֵּה (hinneh, traditionally “behold”) draws attention to something and has been translated here as a verb.

¹⁴ tn Or “I challenge you.” The phrase “I am against you” may be a formula for challenging someone to combat or a duel. See D. I. Block, Ezekiel (NICOT), 1:201-2, and P. Humbert, “Die Herausforderungsformel ‘h!nn#n' ?l?K>,’” ZAW 45 (1933): 101-8. The Hebrew text switches to a second feminine singular form here, indicating that personified Jerusalem is addressed (see vv. 5-6a). The address to Jerusalem continues through v. 15. In vv. 16-17 the second masculine plural is used, as the people are addressed.
