Ezekiel 7:22

7:22 I will turn my face away from them and they will desecrate my treasured place. ¹  Vandals will enter it and desecrate it. ² 

Ezekiel 28:7

28:7 I am about to bring foreigners ³  against you, the most terrifying of nations.

They will draw their swords against the grandeur made by your wisdom, ⁴ 

and they will defile your splendor.

[7:22]  ¹ sn My treasured place probably refers to the temple (however, cf. NLT “my treasured land”).

[7:22]  ² sn Since the pronouns “it” are both feminine, they do not refer to the masculine “my treasured place”; instead they probably refer to Jerusalem or the land, both of which are feminine in Hebrew.

[28:7]  ³ sn This is probably a reference to the Babylonians.

[28:7]  ⁴ tn Heb “they will draw their swords against the beauty of your wisdom.”
