Ezekiel 21:12-21
12Cry outH2199 and wailH3213, O sonH1121 of manH120, forH3588 the sword is wieldedH1961 against My peopleH5971; itH1931 is against allH3605 the princesH5387 of IsraelH3478! They areH1961 tossedH4048 toH413 the swordH2719 withH854 My peopleH5971; thereforeH3651 strikeH5606H413 your thighH3409.113SurelyH3588 testing will comeH974! And whatH4100 ifH518 evenH1571 the scepterH7626, which the sword despisesH3988, does notH3808 continueH1961?’ declaresH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069.14‘So thenH859, sonH1121 of manH120, prophesyH5012 and strikeH5221 your hands togetherH3709H413. Let the swordH2719 strike two timesH3717, even threeH7992. ItH1931 is a swordH2719 that slaysH2491, a swordH2719 of greatH1419 slaughterH2491 closing in on every sideH2314!
18Then the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 cameH1961 to meH413, sayingH559, 19“Now youH859, sonH1121 of manH120, mark outH7760 twoH8147 roadsH1870 for the swordH2719 of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 to takeH935, bothH8147 startingH3318 from the sameH259 landH776. And makeH1254 a signpostH3027 where the roadH1870 branches offH7218 to each cityH5892H1254. 20Mark outH7760 one roadH1870 for the swordH2719 to comeH935 against RabbahH7237 of the AmmonitesH1121H5983, andH853 another against JudahH3063 into fortifiedH1219 JerusalemH3389.
21ForH3588 the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 standsH5975 atH413 the forkH517 in the roadH1870, at the junctionH7218 of the twoH8147 roadsH1870, to seekH7080 an omenH7081: He shakesH7043 the arrowsH2671, he consultsH7592 the idolsH8655, he examinesH7200 the liverH3516.
