Ezekiel 22:14-16
New English Translation

14 Can your heart endure,[a] or can your hands be strong when I deal with you?[b] I, the Lord, have spoken, and I will do it! 15 I will scatter you among the nations and disperse you among various countries; I will remove your impurity from you.[c] 16 You will be profaned within yourself[d] in the sight of the nations; then you will know that I am the Lord.’”

Footnotes

  1. Ezekiel 22:14 tn Heb “stand.” The heart here stands for the emotions; Jerusalem would panic in the face of God’s judgment.
  2. Ezekiel 22:14 tn Heb “in the days when I act against you.”
  3. Ezekiel 22:15 sn The ultimate purpose of divine judgment is to purify the covenant community of its sins.
  4. Ezekiel 22:16 tc Several ancient versions read the verb as first person, in which case the Lord refers to how his people’s sin brings disgrace upon him. For a defense of the Hebrew text, see D. I. Block, Ezekiel (NICOT), 1:712, n. 68, and M. Greenberg, Ezekiel (AB), 2:457-58. tn The phrase “within yourself” is the same as the several previous occurrences of “within you” but adjusted to fit this clause, which is the culmination of the series of indictments.
