Ezekiel 3:25

3:25 As for you, son of man, they will put ropes on you and tie you up with them, so you cannot go out among them.

Ezekiel 12:4

12:4 Bring out your belongings packed for exile during the day while they are watching. And go out at evening, while they are watching, as if for exile.

Ezekiel 24:12

24:12 It has tried my patience; ¹ 

yet its thick rot is not removed ²  from it.

Subject its rot to the fire! ³ 

[24:12]  ¹ tn Heb “(with) toil she has wearied.” The meaning of the statement is unclear in the Hebrew text; some follow the LXX and delete it. The first word in the statement (rendered “toil” in the literal translation above) occurs only here in the OT, and the verb “she has wearied” lacks a stated object. Elsewhere the Hiphil of the verb refers to wearying someone or trying someone’s patience. The feminine subject is apparently the symbolic pot.

[24:12]  ² tn Heb “does not go out.”

[24:12]  ³ tn Heb “in fire its rust.” The meaning of the expression is unclear. The translation understands the statement as a command to burn the rust away. See D. I. Block, Ezekiel (NICOT), 1:768.
