Ezekiel 21:18-27

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.

22In his right handH3225 appearsH1961 the portentH7081 for JerusalemH3389, where he is to set upH7760 battering ramsH3733, to call forH6605H6310 the slaughterH7524, to liftH7311 a battle cryH6963H8643, to directH7760 the battering ramsH3733 againstH5921 the gatesH8179, to buildH8210 a rampH5550, and to erectH1129 a siege wallH1785. 23It will seemH1961 like a falseH7723 omenH7080 to the eyesH5869 of those who have swornH7650 allegianceH7621 to him, but itH1931 will draw attentionH2142 to their guiltH5771 and take them captiveH8610.

24ThereforeH3651 this is whatH3541 the LordH136 GODH3069 saysH559: ‘BecauseH3282 you have drawn attentionH2142 to your guiltH5771, exposingH1540 your transgressionsH6588, so that your sinsH2403 are revealedH7200 in allH3605 your deedsH5949—becauseH3282 you have come to remembranceH2142—you shall be takenH8610 in handH3709.

26This is whatH3541 the LordH136 GODH3069 saysH559:
