Yehezkiel 15:8

15:8 I will make ¹  the land desolate because they have acted unfaithfully, declares the sovereign Lord.”

Yehezkiel 35:13

35:13 You exalted yourselves against me with your speech ²  and hurled many insults against me ³  – I have heard them all!

[15:8]  ¹ tn The word translated “make” is the same Hebrew word translated as “provide” in v. 6.

[35:13]  ² tn Heb “your mouth.”

[35:13]  ³ tn Heb “and you multiplied against me your words.” The Hebrew verb occurs only here and in Prov 27:6, where it refers to the “excessive” kisses of an enemy. The basic idea of the verb appears to be “to be abundant.” Here it occurs in the causative (Hiphil) stem.
