Ezekiel 12:13

12:13 But I will throw my net over him, and he will be caught in my snare. I will bring him to Babylon, the land of the Chaldeans ¹  (but he will not see it), ²  and there he will die. ³ 

Ezekiel 17:20-21

17:20 I will throw my net over him and he will be caught in my snare; I will bring him to Babylon and judge him there because of the unfaithfulness he committed against me. 17:21 All the choice men ⁴  among his troops will die ⁵  by the sword and the survivors will be scattered to every wind. Then you will know that I, the Lord, have spoken!

Ezekiel 32:3

32:3 “‘This is what the sovereign Lord says:

“‘I will throw my net over you ⁶  in the assembly of many peoples;

and they will haul you up in my dragnet.

[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).

[17:21]  ⁴ tc Some manuscripts and versions read “choice men,” while most manuscripts read “fugitives”; the difference arises from the reversal, or metathesis, of two letters, מִבְרָחָיו (mivrakhyv) for מִבְחָריו (mivkharyv).

[17:21]  ⁵ tn Heb “fall.”

[32:3]  ⁷ tn The expression “throw my net” is common in Ezekiel (12:13; 17:20; 19:8).
