Yehezkiel 3:9

3:9 I have made your forehead harder than flint – like diamond! ¹  Do not fear them or be terrified of the looks they give you, ²  for they are a rebellious house.”

Yehezkiel 4:15

4:15 So he said to me, “All right then, I will substitute cow’s manure instead of human excrement. You will cook your food over it.”

Yehezkiel 10:20

10:20 These were the living creatures ³  which I saw at the Kebar River underneath the God of Israel; I knew that they were cherubim.

[3:9]  ¹ tn The Hebrew term translated “diamond” is parallel to “iron” in Jer 17:1. The Hebrew uses two terms which are both translated at times as “flint,” but here one is clearly harder than the other. The translation “diamond” attempts to reflect this distinction in English.

[3:9]  ² tn Heb “of their faces.”

[10:20]  ³ tn Heb “That was the living creature.”
