25:29 For take note, I am already beginning to bring disaster on the city that I call my own. ⁵  So how can you possibly avoid being punished? ⁶  You will not go unpunished! For I am proclaiming war against all who live on the earth. I, the Lord who rules over all, ⁷  affirm it!’ ⁸

Judgment on the Mountains of Israel

6:1 The word of the Lord came to me:

1 Petrus 4:17

4:17 For it is time for judgment to begin, starting with the house ¹⁰  of God. And if it starts with us, what will be the fate ¹¹  of those who are disobedient to the gospel of God?

[36:17]  ¹ tn Heb “killed with the sword.”

[36:17]  ² tn Heb “in the house of their sanctuary.”

[36:17]  ³ tn Or “show compassion to.”

[36:17]  ⁴ tn Heb “he”; the referent (God) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[25:29]  ⁶ tn This is an example of a question without the formal introductory particle following a conjunctive vav introducing an opposition. (See Joüon 2:609 §161.a.) It is also an example of the use of the infinitive before the finite verb in a rhetorical question involving doubt or denial. (See Joüon 2:422-23 §123.f, and compare usage in Gen 37:8.)

[25:29]  ⁷ tn Heb “Yahweh of armies.”

[25:29]  sn See the study notes on 2:19 and 7:3 for explanation of this extended title.

[6:4]  ⁹ tn Thirty-nine of the forty-eight biblical occurrences of this Hebrew word are found in the book of Ezekiel.

[6:4]  sn This verse is probably based on Lev 26:30 in which God forecasts that he will destroy their high places, cut off their incense altars, and set their corpses by the corpses of their idols.

[4:17]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “to begin from the house.”

[4:17]  ¹¹ tn Or “the end.”
