Footnotes

  1. 11 Heb “(with) toil she has wearied.” The meaning of the statement is unclear in the Hebrew text; some follow the and delete it. The first word in the statement (rendered “toil” in the literal translation above) occurs only here in the OT, and the verb “she has wearied” lacks a stated object. Elsewhere the Hiphil of the verb refers to wearying someone or trying someone’s patience. The feminine subject is apparently the symbolic pot.
  2. 12 Heb “does not go out.”
  3. 13 Heb “in fire its rust.” The meaning of the expression is unclear. The translation understands the statement as a command to burn the rust away. See D. I. Block, Ezekiel (), 1:.
