Ezekiel 14:8

14:8 I will set my face against that person and will make him an object lesson and a byword ¹  and will cut him off from among my people. Then you will know that I am the Lord.

Ezekiel 28:16

28:16 In the abundance of your trade you were filled with violence, ²  and you sinned;

so I defiled you and banished you ³  from the mountain of God –

the guardian cherub expelled you ⁴  from the midst of the stones of fire.

Ezekiel 29:4

29:4 I will put hooks in your jaws

and stick the fish of your waterways to your scales.

I will haul you up from the midst of your waterways,

and all the fish of your waterways will stick to your scales.

Ezekiel 32:21

32:21 The bravest of the warriors will speak to him from the midst of Sheol along with his allies, saying: ‘The uncircumcised have come down; they lie still, killed by the sword.’

[14:8]  ¹ tn Heb “proverbs.”

[28:16]  ² tn Heb “they filled your midst with violence.”

[28:16]  ³ tn Heb “I defiled you.” The presence of the preposition “from” following the verb indicates that a verb of motion is implied as well. See L. C. Allen, Ezekiel (WBC), 2:91.

[28:16]  ⁴ tn Heb “and I expelled you, O guardian cherub.” The Hebrew text takes the verb as first person and understands “guardian cherub” as a vocative, in apposition to the pronominal suffix on the verb. However, if the emendation in verse 14a is accepted (see the note above), then one may follow the LXX here as well and emend the verb to a third person perfect. In this case the subject of the verb is the guardian cherub. See L. C. Allen, Ezekiel (WBC), 2:91.
