Yehezkiel 5:13

5:13 Then my anger will be fully vented; I will exhaust my rage on them, and I will be appeased. ¹  Then they will know that I, the Lord, have spoken in my jealousy ²  when I have fully vented my rage against them.

Yehezkiel 8:18

8:18 Therefore I will act with fury! My eye will not pity them nor will I spare ³  them. When they have shouted in my ears, I will not listen to them.”

Yehezkiel 13:13

13:13 “‘Therefore this is what the sovereign Lord says: In my rage I will make a violent wind break out. In my anger there will be a deluge of rain and hailstones in destructive fury.

Yehezkiel 20:33

20:33 As surely as I live, declares the sovereign Lord, with a powerful hand and an outstretched arm, ⁴  and with an outpouring of rage, I will be king over you.

Yehezkiel 22:20

22:20 As silver, bronze, iron, lead, and tin are gathered in a furnace so that the fire can melt them, so I will gather you in my anger and in my rage. I will deposit you there ⁵  and melt you.

Yehezkiel 24:8-13

24:8 To arouse anger, to take vengeance,

I have placed her blood on an exposed rock so that it cannot be covered up.

24:9 “‘Therefore this is what the sovereign Lord says:

Woe to the city of bloodshed!

I will also make the pile high.

24:10 Pile up the bones, kindle the fire;

cook the meat well, mix in the spices,

let the bones be charred.

24:11 Set the empty pot on the coals, ⁶ 

until it becomes hot and its copper glows,

until its uncleanness melts within it and its rot ⁷  is consumed.

24:12 It has tried my patience; ⁸ 

yet its thick rot is not removed ⁹  from it.

Subject its rot to the fire! ¹⁰ 

24:13 You mix uncleanness with obscene conduct. ¹¹ 

I tried to cleanse you, ¹²  but you are not clean.

You will not be cleansed from your uncleanness ¹³ 

until I have exhausted my anger on you.

[5:13]  ¹ tn Or “calm myself.”

[5:13]  ² tn The Hebrew noun translated “jealousy” is used in the human realm to describe suspicion of adultery (Num 5:14ff.; Prov 6:34). Since Israel’s relationship with God was often compared to a marriage this term is appropriate here. The term occurs elsewhere in Ezekiel in 8:3, 5; 16:38, 42; 23:25.

[8:18]  ³ tn The meaning of the Hebrew term is primarily emotional: “to pity,” which in context implies an action, as in being moved by pity in order to spare them from the horror of their punishment.

[20:33]  ⁴ sn This phrase occurs frequently in Deuteronomy (Deut 4:34; 5:15; 7:19; 11:2; 26:8).

[22:20]  ⁵ tn Heb “I will put.” No object is supplied in the Hebrew, prompting many to emend the text to “I will blow.” See BHS and verse 21.

[24:11]  ⁶ tn Heb “set it upon its coals, empty.”

[24:11]  ⁷ tn Or “rust” (so also in v. 12).

[24:12]  ⁸ tn Heb “(with) toil she has wearied.” The meaning of the statement is unclear in the Hebrew text; some follow the LXX and delete it. The first word in the statement (rendered “toil” in the literal translation above) occurs only here in the OT, and the verb “she has wearied” lacks a stated object. Elsewhere the Hiphil of the verb refers to wearying someone or trying someone’s patience. The feminine subject is apparently the symbolic pot.

[24:12]  ⁹ tn Heb “does not go out.”

[24:12]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “in fire its rust.” The meaning of the expression is unclear. The translation understands the statement as a command to burn the rust away. See D. I. Block, Ezekiel (NICOT), 1:768.

[24:13]  ¹¹ tn Heb “in your uncleanness (is) obscene conduct.”

[24:13]  ¹² tn Heb “because I cleansed you.” In this context (see especially the very next statement), the statement must refer to divine intention and purpose. Despite God’s efforts to cleanse his people, they resisted him and remained morally impure.

[24:13]  ¹³ tn The Hebrew text adds the word “again.”
