Ezekiel 33:4
Context33:4 but there is one who hears the sound of the trumpet yet does not heed the warning. Then the sword comes and sweeps him away. He will be responsible for his own death. 1
Ezekiel 3:27
Context3:27 But when I speak with you, I will loosen your tongue 2 and you must say to them, ‘This is what the sovereign Lord says.’ Those who listen will listen, but the indifferent will refuse, 3 for they are a rebellious house.


[33:4] 1 tn Heb “his blood will be on his own head.”
[3:27] 2 tn Heb “open your mouth.”
[3:27] 3 tn Heb “the listener will listen, the refuser will refuse.” Because the word for listening can also mean obeying, the nuance may be that the obedient will listen, or that the one who listens will obey. Also, although the verbs are not jussive as pointed in the MT, some translate them with a volitive sense: “the one who listens – let that one listen, the one who refuses – let that one refuse.”
