Ancient translations in Koine Greek:

Verse 2

Also, thou son of man, thus saith the Lord God unto the land of Israel;
An end, the end is come upon the four corners of the land.[4]
  • "Son of man" (Hebrew: בן־אדם ḇen-’ā-ḏām): this phrase is used 93 times to address Ezekiel.[5]

Verse 27

The king will mourn,
The prince will be clothed with desolation,
And the hands of the common people will tremble.
I will do to them according to their way,
And according to what they deserve I will judge them;
Then they shall know that I am the Lord! (NKJV)[6]
  • "I will do unto them after their way" (KJV): thus, Israel is "treated precisely as she deserves."[7]
  • "And they shall know that I am the Lord" (KJV): This becomes a recurring theme for Ezekiel, revealing that "the prophet identifies his words as a manifestation of the active presence of God."[8]
