Ezekiel 22:13-14

22:13 “‘See, I strike my hands together ¹  at the dishonest profit you have made, and at the bloodshed ²  they have done among you. 22:14 Can your heart endure, ³  or can your hands be strong when I deal with you? ⁴  I, the Lord, have spoken, and I will do it!

[22:13]  ¹ sn This gesture apparently expresses mourning and/or anger (see 6:11; 21:14, 17).

[22:13]  ² tn Heb “the blood which was in you.”

[22:14]  ³ tn Heb “stand.” The heart here stands for the emotions; Jerusalem would panic in the face of God’s judgment.

[22:14]  ⁴ tn Heb “in the days when I act against you.”
