Ezekiel 21:18-27

18And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,

19And thou, sonH1121 of manH120, set thee two ways, by which the swordH2719 of the king of Babylon may come — out of one land shall they both come — and make thee a signpost, make it at the head of the way to the city.

20Appoint a way for the coming of the swordH2719 to Rabbah of the children of Ammon, and to Judah at the fenced [city] of Jerusalem.

21For the king of Babylon standeth at the parting of the way, at the head of the two ways, to use divination: he shaketh [his] arrows, he inquireth of the teraphim, he looketh in the liver.

22In his right handH3709 is the lot of Jerusalem to appoint battering-rams, to open the mouth for bloodshed, to lift up the voice with shouting, to appoint battering-rams against the gates, to cast mounds, to build siege-towers.

23And this shall beH1961 a false divination in their sight, for them that have sworn oaths; but he will call to remembrance the iniquity, that they may beH1961 taken.

24Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Because ye makeH7760 your iniquity to be remembered in that your transgressions are discovered, so that in all your doings your sins appear; because ye are comeH935 to remembrance, ye shall be taken with the handH3027.

25And thou, profane, wicked prince of Israel, whose day is comeH935, at the time of the iniquity of the end,

26— thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Remove the mitre and take off the crown; what is shall be no [more]. Exalt that which is low, and abase that which is high.

27I will overturn, overturn, overturn it! This also shall beH1961 no [more], until he come whose rightH3225 it is; and I will give it [to him].
