Ezekiel 32:7-8

Context

32:7 When I extinguish you, I will cover the sky;

I will darken its stars.

I will cover the sun with a cloud,

and the moon will not shine. 1 

32:8 I will darken all the lights in the sky over you,

and I will darken your land,

declares the sovereign Lord.

Ezekiel 31:15

Context

31:15 “‘This is what the sovereign Lord says: On the day it 2  went down to Sheol I caused observers to lament. 3  I covered it with the deep and held back its rivers; its plentiful water was restrained. I clothed Lebanon in black for it, and all the trees of the field wilted because of it.

[32:7]  1 tn Heb “will not shine its light.” For similar features of cosmic eschatology, see Joel 2:10; 4:15; Amos 5:18-20; Zeph 1:5.

[31:15]  2 tn Or “he.”

[31:15]  3 tn Heb “I caused lamentation.” D. I. Block (Ezekiel [NICOT], 2:194-95) proposes an alternative root which would give the meaning “I gated back the waters,” i.e., shut off the water supply.
