Yehezkiel 22:13

22:13 “‘See, I strike my hands together ¹  at the dishonest profit you have made, and at the bloodshed ²  they have done among you.

Yehezkiel 33:31

33:31 They come to you in crowds, ³  and they sit in front of you as ⁴  my people. They hear your words, but do not obey ⁵  them. For they talk lustfully, ⁶  and their heart is set on ⁷  their own advantage. ⁸ 

[22:13]  ¹ sn This gesture apparently expresses mourning and/or anger (see 6:11; 21:14, 17).

[22:13]  ² tn Heb “the blood which was in you.”

[33:31]  ³ tn Heb “as people come.” Apparently this is an idiom indicating that they come in crowds. See D. I. Block, Ezekiel (NICOT), 2:264.

[33:31]  ⁴ tn The word “as” is supplied in the translation.

[33:31]  ⁵ tn Heb “do.”

[33:31]  ⁶ tn Heb “They do lust with their mouths.”

[33:31]  ⁷ tn Heb “goes after.”

[33:31]  ⁸ tn The present translation understands the term often used for “unjust gain” in a wider sense, following M. Greenberg, who also notes that the LXX uses a term which can describe either sexual or ritual pollution. See M. Greenberg, Ezekiel (AB), 2:687.
