Yehezkiel 7:5

7:5 “This is what the sovereign Lord says: A disaster ¹  – a one-of-a-kind ²  disaster – is coming!

Yehezkiel 19:5

19:5 “‘When she realized that she waited in vain, her hope was lost.

She took another of her cubs ³  and made him a young lion.

[7:5]  ¹ tn The Hebrew term often refers to moral evil (see Ezek 6:10; 14:22), but in many contexts it refers to calamity or disaster, sometimes as punishment for evil behavior.

[7:5]  ² tc So most Hebrew mss; many Hebrew mss read “disaster after disaster” (cf. NAB, NCV, NRSV, NLT).

[19:5]  ³ sn The identity of this second lion is unclear; the referent is probably Jehoiakim or Zedekiah. If the lioness is Hamutal, then Zedekiah is the lion described here.
