Ezekiel 17:19-21
New English Translation
19 “‘Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says: As surely as I live, I will certainly repay him[a] for despising my oath and breaking my covenant! 20 I will throw my net over him and he will be caught in my snare; I will bring him to Babylon and judge him there because of the unfaithfulness he committed against me. 21 All the choice men[b] among his troops will die[c] by the sword, and the survivors will be scattered to every wind. Then you will know that I, the Lord, have spoken!

- Ezekiel 17:21 tc Some manuscripts and versions read “choice men,” while most manuscripts read “fugitives”; the difference arises from the reversal, or metathesis, of two letters, מִבְרָחָיו (mivrakhayv) for מִבְחָריו (mivkharayv).
- Ezekiel 17:21 tn Heb “fall.”
