Yehezkiel 12:3

12:3 “Therefore, son of man, pack up your belongings as if for exile. During the day, while they are watching, pretend to go into exile. Go from where you live to another place. Perhaps they will understand, ¹  although they are a rebellious house.

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. ²  For all of them have been appointed to die in the lower parts of the earth; ³  they will be among mere mortals, ⁴  with those who descend to the pit.

Yehezkiel 31:18

31:18 Which of the trees of Eden was like you in majesty and loftiness? You will be brought down with the trees of Eden to the lower parts of the earth; you will lie among the uncircumcised, with those killed by the sword! This is what will happen to Pharaoh and all his hordes, declares the sovereign Lord.’”

[12:3]  ¹ tn Heb “see.” This plays on the uses of “see” in v. 2. They will see his actions with their eyes and perhaps they will “see” with their mind, that is, understand or grasp the point.

[31:14]  ² tn Heb “and they will not stand to them in their height, all the drinkers of water.”

[31:14]  ³ tn Heb “for death, to the lower earth.”

[31:14]  ⁴ tn Heb “the sons of men.”
