Ezekiel 7:4

7:4 My eye will not pity you; I will not spare ¹  you. ²  For I will hold you responsible for your behavior, ³  and you will suffer the consequences of your abominable practices. ⁴  Then you will know that I am the Lord!

Ezekiel 21:22

21:22 Into his right hand ⁵  comes the portent for Jerusalem – to set up battering rams, to give the signal ⁶  for slaughter, to shout out the battle cry, ⁷  to set up battering rams against the gates, to erect a siege ramp, to build a siege wall.

¹ 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.

² tn The pronoun “you” is not in the Hebrew text, but is implied.

³ tn “I will set your behavior on your head.”

⁴ tn Heb “and your abominable practices will be among you.”

⁵ tn Or “on the right side,” i.e., the omen mark on the right side of the liver.

⁶ tn Heb “to open the mouth” for slaughter.

⁷ tn Heb “to raise up a voice in a battle cry.”
