Ezekiel 20:7-8
Context20:7 I said to them, “Each of you must get rid of the detestable idols you keep before you, 1 and do not defile yourselves with the idols of Egypt; I am the Lord your God.” 20:8 But they rebelled against me, and refused to listen to me; no one got rid of their detestable idols, 2 nor did they abandon the idols of Egypt. Then I decided to pour out 3 my rage on them and fully vent my anger against them in the midst of the land of Egypt.

[20:8] 2 tn Heb “each one, the detestable things of their eyes did not throw away.”
[20:8] 3 tn Heb “and I said/thought to pour out.”
[23:3] 4 tn In the Hebrew text the subject is left unstated and must be supplied from the context.
