33:27 “This is what you must say to them, ‘This is what the sovereign Lord says: As surely as I live, those living in the ruins will die ⁷  by the sword, those in the open field I will give to the wild beasts for food, and those who are in the strongholds and caves will die of disease.

[12:13]  ¹ tn Or “Babylonians” (NCV, NLT).

[12:13]  ² sn He will not see it. This prediction was fulfilled in 2 Kgs 25:7 and Jer 52:11, which recount how Zedekiah was blinded before being deported to Babylon.

[12:13]  ³ sn There he will die. This was fulfilled when King Zedekiah died in exile (Jer 52:11).

[13:21]  ⁴ tn Heb “from your hand(s).” This refers to their power over the people.

[19:9]  ⁷ tn Or “They put him in a neck stock with hooks.” The noun סּוּגַר (sugar), translated “collar,” occurs only here in the Bible. L. C. Allen and D. I. Block point out a Babylonian cognate that refers to a device for transporting prisoners of war that held them by their necks (D. I. Block, Ezekiel [NICOT], 1:597, n. 35; L. C. Allen, Ezekiel [WBC], 1:284). Based on the Hebrew root, the traditional rendering had been “cage” (cf. ASV, NAB, NASB, NIV, NRSV).

[19:9]  ⁸ tc The term in the MT occurs only here and in Eccl 9:12 where it refers to a net for catching fish. The LXX translates this as “prison,” which assumes a confusion of dalet and resh took place in the MT.

[33:27]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “fall.”
