Ezekiel 7:17

7:17 All of their hands will hang limp; their knees will be wet with urine. ¹ 

Ezekiel 16:44

16:44 “‘Observe – everyone who quotes proverbs will quote this proverb about you: “Like mother, like daughter.”

Ezekiel 28:3

28:3 Look, you are wiser than Daniel; ² 

no secret is hidden from you. ³ 

[7:17]  ¹ tn Heb “their knees will run with water.” The expression probably refers to urination caused by fright, which is how the LXX renders the phrase. More colloquial English would simply be “they will wet their pants,” but as D. I. Block (Ezekiel [NICOT], 1:261, n. 98) notes, the men likely wore skirts which were short enough to expose urine on the knees.

[28:3]  ² sn Or perhaps “Danel” (so TEV), referring to a ruler known from Canaanite legend. See the note on “Daniel” in 14:14. A reference to Danel (preserved in legend at Ugarit, near the northern end of the Phoenician coast) makes more sense here when addressing Tyre than in 14:14.

[28:3]  ³ sn The tone here is sarcastic, reflecting the ruler’s view of himself.
