Ezekiel 11:9

11:9 ‘But I will take you out of the city. ¹  And I will hand you over to foreigners. I will execute judgments on you.

Ezekiel 28:9-10

28:9 Will you still say, “I am a god,” before the one who kills you –

though you are a man and not a god –

when you are in the power of those who wound you?

28:10 You will die the death of the uncircumcised ²  by the hand of foreigners;

for I have spoken, declares the sovereign Lord.’”

Ezekiel 30:10

30:10 “‘This is what the sovereign Lord says:

I will put an end to the hordes of Egypt,

by the hand of King Nebuchadrezzar ³  of Babylon.

Ezekiel 31:11

31:11 I gave it over to the leader of the nations. He has judged it thoroughly, ⁴  as its sinfulness deserves. I have thrown it out.

[11:9]  ¹ tn Heb “its midst.”

[28:10]  ² sn The Phoenicians practiced circumcision, so the language here must be figurative, indicating that they would be treated in a disgraceful manner. Uncircumcised peoples were viewed as inferior, unclean, and perhaps even sub-human. See 31:18 and 32:17-32, as well as the discussion in D. I. Block, Ezekiel (NICOT), 2:99.

[30:10]  ³ tn Heb “Nebuchadrezzar” is a variant and more correct spelling of Nebuchadnezzar, as the Babylonian name Nabu-kudurri-usur has an “r” rather than an “n.”

[31:11]  ⁴ tn Heb “acting he has acted with regard to it.” The infinitive absolute precedes the main verb to emphasize the certainty and decisiveness of the action depicted.
