Yehezkiel 23:25-26

23:25 I will direct ¹  my jealous anger against you, and they will deal with you in rage. They will cut off your nose and your ears, ²  and your survivors will die ³  by the sword. They will seize your sons and daughters, and your survivors will be consumed by fire. 23:26 They will strip your clothes off you and take away your beautiful jewelry.

Yehezkiel 23:45-47

23:45 But upright men will punish them appropriately for their adultery and bloodshed, ⁴  because they are adulteresses and blood is on their hands.

23:46 “For this is what the sovereign Lord says: Bring up an army ⁵  against them and subject them ⁶  to terror and plunder. 23:47 That army will pelt them with stones and slash them with their swords; they will kill their sons and daughters and burn their houses. ⁷ 

Yehezkiel 16:39

16:39 I will give you into their hands and they will destroy your chambers and tear down your pavilions. They will strip you of your clothing and take your beautiful jewelry and leave you naked and bare.

Ulangan 28:47-51

The Curse of Military Siege

28:47 “Because you have not served the Lord your God joyfully and wholeheartedly with the abundance of everything you have, 28:48 instead in hunger, thirst, nakedness, and poverty ⁸  you will serve your enemies whom the Lord will send against you. They ⁹  will place an iron yoke on your neck until they have destroyed you. 28:49 The Lord will raise up a distant nation against you, one from the other side of the earth ¹⁰  as the eagle flies, ¹¹  a nation whose language you will not understand, 28:50 a nation of stern appearance that will have no regard for the elderly or pity for the young. 28:51 They ¹²  will devour the offspring of your livestock and the produce of your soil until you are destroyed. They will not leave you with any grain, new wine, olive oil, calves of your herds, ¹³  or lambs of your flocks ¹⁴  until they have destroyed you.

Ulangan 28:2

28:2 All these blessings will come to you in abundance ¹⁵  if you obey the Lord your God:

1 Samuel 13:15

13:15 Then Samuel set out and went up from Gilgal ¹⁶  to Gibeah in the territory of Benjamin. ¹⁷  Saul mustered the army that remained with him; there were about six hundred men.

[23:25]  ¹ tn Heb “give.”

[23:25]  ² tn Heb “they will remove.”

[23:25]  sn This method of punishment is attested among ancient Egyptian and Hittite civilizations. See W. Zimmerli, Ezekiel (Hermeneia), 1:489.

[23:25]  ³ tn Heb “fall.”

[23:45]  ⁴ tn Heb “and upright men will judge them (with) the judgment of adulteresses and the judgment of those who shed blood.”

[23:46]  ⁵ tn Heb “assembly.”

[23:46]  ⁶ tn Heb “give them to.”

[23:47]  ⁷ tn The Hebrew text adds “with fire.”

[28:48]  ⁸ tn Heb “lack of everything.”

[28:48]  ⁹ tn Heb “he” (also later in this verse). The pronoun is a collective singular referring to the enemies (cf. CEV, NLT). Many translations understand the singular pronoun to refer to the Lord (cf. NAB, NASB, NIV, NCV, NRSV, TEV).

[28:49]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “from the end of the earth.”

[28:49]  ¹¹ tn Some translations understand this to mean “like an eagle swoops down” (e.g., NAB, NASB, NIV, NRSV, NLT), comparing the swift attack of an eagle to the attack of the Israelites’ enemies.

[28:51]  ¹² tn Heb “it” (so NRSV), a collective singular referring to the invading nation (several times in this verse and v. 52).

[28:51]  ¹³ tn Heb “increase of herds.”

[28:51]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “growth of flocks.”

[28:2]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “come upon you and overtake you” (so NASB, NRSV); NIV “come upon you and accompany you.”

[13:15]  ¹⁶ tc The LXX and two Old Latin mss include the following words here: “on his way. And the rest of the people went up after Saul to meet the warring army. When they arrived from Gilgal….”

[13:15]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “at Gibeah of Benjamin.” The words “in the territory” are supplied in the translation for clarity (likewise in the following verse).
