Yehezkiel 7:13

7:13 The customer will no longer pay the seller ¹  while both parties are alive, for the vision against their whole crowd ²  will not be revoked. Each person, for his iniquity, ³  will fail to preserve his life.

Yehezkiel 7:19

7:19 They will discard their silver in the streets, and their gold will be treated like filth. ⁴  Their silver and gold will not be able to deliver them on the day of the Lord’s fury. ⁵  They will not satisfy their hunger or fill their stomachs because their wealth ⁶  was the obstacle leading to their iniquity. ⁷ 

Yehezkiel 9:9

9:9 He said to me, “The sin of the house of Israel and Judah is extremely great; the land is full of murder, and the city is full of corruption, ⁸  for they say, ‘The Lord has abandoned the land, and the Lord does not see!’ ⁹ 

Yehezkiel 14:13

14:13 “Son of man, suppose a country sins against me by being unfaithful, and I stretch out my hand against it, cut off its bread supply, ¹⁰  cause famine to come on it, and kill both people and animals.

Yehezkiel 18:17

Yehezkiel 33:8

33:8 When I say to the wicked, ‘O wicked man, you must certainly die,’ ¹³  and you do not warn ¹⁴  the wicked about his behavior, ¹⁵  the wicked man will die for his iniquity, but I will hold you accountable for his death. ¹⁶ 

[7:13]  ¹ tc The translation follows the LXX for the first line of the verse, although the LXX has lost the second line due to homoioteleuton (similar endings of the clauses). The MT reads “The seller will not return to the sale.” This Hebrew reading has been construed as a reference to land redemption, the temporary sale of the use of property, with property rights returned to the seller in the year of Jubilee. But the context has no other indicator that land redemption is in view. If correct, the LXX evidence suggests that one of the cases of “the customer” has been replaced by “the seller” in the MT, perhaps due to hoimoioarcton (similar beginnings of the words).

[7:13]  ² tn The Hebrew word refers to the din or noise made by a crowd, and by extension may refer to the crowd itself.

[7:13]  ³ tn Or “in their punishment.” The phrase “in/for [a person’s] iniquity” occurs fourteen times in Ezekiel: here and in v. 16; 3:18, 19; 4:17; 18:17, 18, 19, 20; 24:23; 33:6, 8, 9; 39:23. The Hebrew word for “iniquity” may also mean the “punishment for iniquity.”

[7:19]  ⁴ tn The Hebrew term can refer to menstrual impurity. The term also occurs at the end of v. 20.

[7:19]  ⁵ sn Compare Zeph 1:18.

[7:19]  ⁶ tn Heb “it.” Apparently the subject is the silver and gold mentioned earlier (see L. C. Allen, Ezekiel [WBC], 1:102).

[7:19]  ⁷ tn The “stumbling block of their iniquity” is a unique phrase of the prophet Ezekiel (Ezek 14:3, 4, 7; 18:30; 44:12).

[9:9]  ⁸ tn Or “lawlessness” (NAB); “perversity” (NRSV). The Hebrew word occurs only here in the OT, and its meaning is uncertain. The similar phrase in 7:23 has a common word for “violence.”

[9:9]  ⁹ sn The saying is virtually identical to that of the elders in Ezek 8:12.

[14:13]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “break its staff of bread.”

[18:17]  ¹¹ tc This translation follows the LXX. The MT reads “restrains his hand from the poor,” which makes no sense here.

[18:17]  ¹² tn Or “in his father’s punishment.” The phrase “in/for [a person’s] iniquity/punishment” occurs fourteen times in Ezekiel: here and in vv. 18, 19, 20; 3:18, 19; 4:17; 7:13, 16; 24:23; 33:6, 8, 9; 39:23. The Hebrew word for “iniquity” may also mean the “punishment for iniquity.”

[33:8]  ¹³ tn The same expression occurs in Gen 2:17.

[33:8]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “and you do not speak to warn.”

[33:8]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “way.”

[33:8]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “and his blood from your hand I will seek.”
