Yehezkiel 26:20

26:20 then I will bring you down to bygone people, ¹  to be with those who descend to the pit. I will make you live in the lower parts of the earth, among ²  the primeval ruins, with those who descend to the pit, so that you will not be inhabited or stand ³  in the land of the living.

Yehezkiel 31:14

31:14 For this reason no watered trees will grow so tall; their tops will not reach into the clouds, nor will the well-watered ones grow that high. ⁴  For all of them have been appointed to die in the lower parts of the earth; ⁵  they will be among mere mortals, ⁶  with those who descend to the pit.

Yehezkiel 46:9

46:9 “‘When the people of the land come before the Lord at the appointed feasts, whoever enters by way of the north gate to worship will go out by way of the south gate; whoever enters by way of the south gate will go out by way of the north gate. No one will return by way of the gate they entered but will go out straight ahead.

[26:20]  ¹ tn Heb “to the people of antiquity.”

[26:20]  ² tn Heb “like.” The translation assumes an emendation of the preposition כְּ (kÿ, “like”), to בְּ (bÿ, “in, among”).

[26:20]  ³ tn Heb “and I will place beauty.” This reading makes little sense; many, following the lead of the LXX, emend the text to read “nor will you stand” with the negative particle before the preceding verb understood by ellipsis; see L. C. Allen, Ezekiel (WBC), 2:73. D. I. Block (Ezekiel [NICOT], 2:47) offers another alternative, taking the apparent first person verb form as an archaic second feminine form and translating “nor radiate splendor.”

[31:14]  ⁴ tn Heb “and they will not stand to them in their height, all the drinkers of water.”

[31:14]  ⁵ tn Heb “for death, to the lower earth.”

[31:14]  ⁶ tn Heb “the sons of men.”
