Yehezkiel 15:7

15:7 I will set ¹  my face against them – although they have escaped from the fire, ²  the fire will still consume them! Then you will know that I am the Lord, when I set my face against them.

Yehezkiel 17:21

17:21 All the choice men ³  among his troops will die ⁴  by the sword and the survivors will be scattered to every wind. Then you will know that I, the Lord, have spoken!

[15:7]  ¹ tn The word translated “set” is the same Hebrew word translated as “provide” in the previous verse.

[15:7]  ² sn This escape refers to the exile of Ezekiel and others in 597 b.c. (Ezek 1:2; 2 Kgs 24:10-16).

[17:21]  ³ tc Some manuscripts and versions read “choice men,” while most manuscripts read “fugitives”; the difference arises from the reversal, or metathesis, of two letters, מִבְרָחָיו (mivrakhyv) for מִבְחָריו (mivkharyv).

[17:21]  ⁴ tn Heb “fall.”
