Ezekiel 21:29

Context

21:29 while seeing false visions for you

and reading lying omens for you¹ –

to place that sword² on the necks of the profane wicked,³

whose day has come,

the time of final punishment.

[21:29] ¹tn Heb “in the seeing concerning you falsehood, in divining concerning you a lie.” This probably refers to the attempts of the Ammonites to ward off judgment through prophetic visions and divination.

[21:29] ²tn Heb “you”; the referent (the sword mentioned in v. 28) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[21:29] ³sn The second half of the verse appears to state that the sword of judgment would fall upon the wicked, despite their efforts to prevent it.
