Footnotes

Ezekiel 12:10 to King Zedekiah, literally, “to the prince in Jerusalem.”
Ezekiel 12:12 for he won’t be able to see, literally, “that he may not see the land with his eyes.” Apparently a reference to the fact that his eyes were put out before he was taken to Babylon; see Jeremiah 52:11. Also in v. 13.
