Ezekiel 21:26

21:26 this is what the sovereign Lord says:

Tear off the turban, ¹ 

take off the crown!

Things must change! ² 

Exalt the lowly,

bring down the proud! ³ 

[21:26]  ¹ tn Elsewhere in the Bible the turban is worn by priests (Exod 28:4, 37, 39; 29:6; 39:28, 31; Lev 8:9; 16:4), but here a royal crown is in view.

[21:26]  ² tn Heb “This not this.”

[21:26]  ³ tn Heb “the high one.”
