Ezekiel 21:1-17

1And the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 cameH1961 to meH413, sayingH559, 2“SonH1121 of manH120, setH7760 your faceH6440 againstH413 JerusalemH3389 and preachH5197 againstH413 the sanctuariesH4720. ProphesyH5012 againstH413 the landH127 of IsraelH3478 3and tellH559H127 her that this is whatH3541 the LORDH3068H2005 saysH559: ‘I am against youH413, and I will drawH3318 My swordH2719 from its sheathH8593 and cut offH3772 from youH4480 both the righteousH6662 and the wickedH7563. 4BecauseH3282 I will cut offH3772 both the righteousH6662 and the wickedH7563, My swordH2719 will beH3318 unsheathedH8593 againstH413 everyoneH3605H1320 from southH5045 to northH6828. 5Then allH3605 fleshH1320 will knowH3045 thatH3588 IH589, the LORDH3068, have takenH3318 My swordH2719 from its sheathH8593, notH3808 to return itH7725 againH5750.’

6But youH859, sonH1121 of manH120, groanH584! GroanH584 before their eyesH5869 with a brokenH7670 heartH4975 and bitter griefH4814. 7AndH1961 whenH3588 they askH559, ‘WhyH5921H4100 are youH859 groaningH584?’ you are to sayH559, ‘Because ofH413 the newsH8052 thatH3588 is comingH935. EveryH3605 heartH3820 will meltH4549, and everyH3605 handH3027 will go limpH7503. EveryH3605 spiritH7307 will faintH3543, and everyH3605 kneeH1290 will turn toH1980 waterH4325.’ YesH2009, it is comingH935 and it will surely happenH1961, declaresH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069.”

8Again the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 cameH1961 to meH413, sayingH559, 9“SonH1121 of manH120, prophesyH5012 and tell themH559 that this is whatH3541 the LordH136H559 saysH559:
