Ezekiel 22:20

22:20 As silver, bronze, iron, lead, and tin are gathered in a furnace so that the fire can melt them, so I will gather you in my anger and in my rage. I will deposit you there ¹  and melt you.

Ezekiel 22:22

Ezekiel 24:11

24:11 Set the empty pot on the coals, ² 

until it becomes hot and its copper glows,

until its uncleanness melts within it and its rot ³  is consumed.

[22:20]  ¹ tn Heb “I will put.” No object is supplied in the Hebrew, prompting many to emend the text to “I will blow.” See BHS and verse 21.

[24:11]  ¹ tn Heb “set it upon its coals, empty.”

[24:11]  ² tn Or “rust” (so also in v. 12).
