Yehezkiel 26:16

26:16 All the princes of the sea will vacate ¹  their thrones. They will remove their robes and strip off their embroidered clothes; they will clothe themselves with trembling. They will sit on the ground; they will tremble continually and be shocked at what has happened to you. ² 

Yehezkiel 28:16

28:16 In the abundance of your trade you were filled with violence, ³  and you sinned;

so I defiled you and banished you ⁴  from the mountain of God –

the guardian cherub expelled you ⁵  from the midst of the stones of fire.

[26:16]  ¹ tn Heb “descend from.”

[26:16]  ² tn Heb “and they will be astonished over you.”

[28:16]  ³ tn Heb “they filled your midst with violence.”

[28:16]  ⁴ tn Heb “I defiled you.” The presence of the preposition “from” following the verb indicates that a verb of motion is implied as well. See L. C. Allen, Ezekiel (WBC), 2:91.

[28:16]  ⁵ tn Heb “and I expelled you, O guardian cherub.” The Hebrew text takes the verb as first person and understands “guardian cherub” as a vocative, in apposition to the pronominal suffix on the verb. However, if the emendation in verse 14a is accepted (see the note above), then one may follow the LXX here as well and emend the verb to a third person perfect. In this case the subject of the verb is the guardian cherub. See L. C. Allen, Ezekiel (WBC), 2:91.
