Yehezkiel 1:12

1:12 Each moved straight ahead ¹  – wherever the spirit ²  would go, they would go, without turning as they went.

Yehezkiel 7:18

7:18 They will wear sackcloth, terror will cover them; shame will be on all their faces, and all of their heads will be shaved bald. ³ 

Yehezkiel 16:25

16:25 At the head of every street you erected your pavilion and you disgraced ⁴  your beauty when you spread ⁵  your legs to every passerby and multiplied your promiscuity.

Yehezkiel 16:40

16:40 They will summon a mob who will stone you and hack you in pieces with their swords.

Yehezkiel 23:21

23:21 This is how you assessed ⁶  the obscene conduct of your youth, when the Egyptians fondled ⁷  your nipples and squeezed ⁸  your young breasts.

[1:12]  ¹ tn See the note on “straight ahead” in v. 9.

[1:12]  ² tn Or “wind.”

[7:18]  ³ tn Heb “baldness will be on their heads.”

[16:25]  ⁴ tn Heb “treated as if abominable,” i.e., repudiated.

[16:25]  ⁵ tn The only other occurrence of the Hebrew root is found in Prov 13:3 in reference to the talkative person who habitually “opens wide” his lips.

[23:21]  ⁶ tn Or “you took note of.” The Hebrew verb פָּקַד (paqad) in the Qal implies evaluating something and then acting in light of that judgment; here the prophet depicts Judah as approving of her youthful unfaithfulness and then magnifying it at the present time. Some translations assume the verb should be repointed as a Niphal, rendering “you missed” or by extension “you longed for,” but such an extension of the Niphal “to be missing” is otherwise unattested.

[23:21]  ⁷ tn Heb “when (they) did,” but the verb makes no sense here and is better emended to “when (they) fondled,” a verb used in vv. 3 and 8. See L. C. Allen, Ezekiel (WBC), 2:43.

[23:21]  ⁸ tn Heb “for the sake of,” but the expression is awkward and is better emended to read “to squeeze.” See L. C. Allen, Ezekiel (WBC), 2:43.
