Ezekiel 13:14

13:14 I will break down the wall you coated with whitewash and knock it to the ground so that its foundation is exposed. When it falls you will be destroyed beneath it, ¹  and you will know that I am the Lord.

Ezekiel 26:20

26:20 then I will bring you down to bygone people, ²  to be with those who descend to the pit. I will make you live in the lower parts of the earth, among ³  the primeval ruins, with those who descend to the pit, so that you will not be inhabited or stand ⁴  in the land of the living.

Ezekiel 38:13

38:13 Sheba and Dedan and the traders of Tarshish with all its young warriors ⁵  will say to you, “Have you come to loot? Have you assembled your armies to plunder, to carry away silver and gold, to take away cattle and goods, to haul away a great amount of spoils?”’

[13:14]  ¹ tn Or “within it,” referring to the city of Jerusalem.

[26:20]  ² tn Heb “to the people of antiquity.”

[26:20]  ³ tn Heb “like.” The translation assumes an emendation of the preposition כְּ (kÿ, “like”), to בְּ (bÿ, “in, among”).

[26:20]  ⁴ tn Heb “and I will place beauty.” This reading makes little sense; many, following the lead of the LXX, emend the text to read “nor will you stand” with the negative particle before the preceding verb understood by ellipsis; see L. C. Allen, Ezekiel (WBC), 2:73. D. I. Block (Ezekiel [NICOT], 2:47) offers another alternative, taking the apparent first person verb form as an archaic second feminine form and translating “nor radiate splendor.”

[38:13]  ³ tn Heb “young lions.”
