Ezekiel 21:1-17

11And the wordH1697 of the LordH3068 cameH1961 to me sayingH559, 2“SonH1121 of manH120, 2setH7760 your faceH6440 towardH413 JerusalemH3389, and 34speakH5197 againstH413 the sanctuariesH4720 and prophesyH5012 againstH413 the landH127 of IsraelH3478; 3and sayH559 to the landH127 of IsraelH3478, ‘ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068, “BeholdH2009, 5I am againstH413 you; and I will drawH3318 My swordH2719 out of its sheathH8593 and cutH3772 offH3772 from you the 6righteousH6662 and the wickedH7563. 4BecauseH3282 I will cutH3772 offH3772 from you the righteousH6662 and the wickedH7563, thereforeH3651 My swordH2719 will goH3318 forthH3318 from its sheathH8593 againstH413 7allH3605 fleshH1320 from southH5045 to northH6828. 5Thus allH3605 fleshH1320 will knowH3045 that I, the LordH3068, have drawnH3318 My swordH2719 out of its sheathH8593. It will 8not returnH7725 to its sheath againH5750.”’ 6As for you, sonH1121 of manH120, groanH584 with breakingH7670 9heartH4975 and bitterH4814 griefH4814, groanH584 in their sightH5869. 7And whenH3588 they sayH559 to you, ‘WhyH5921H4100 do you groanH584?’ you shall sayH559, ‘BecauseH413 of the 10newsH8052 that is comingH935; and 11everyH3605 heartH3820 will meltH4549, allH3605 handsH3027 will be feebleH7503, everyH3605 spiritH7307 will 12faintH3543 and allH3605 kneesH1290 will 13be weakH1980 as waterH4325. BeholdH2009, it comesH935 and it will happenH1961,’ declaresH5002 the LordH136 14GodH3068.”

8Again the wordH1697 of the LordH3068 cameH1961 to me, sayingH559, 9“SonH1121 of manH120, prophesyH5012 and sayH559, ‘ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068.’ SayH559, ‘15A swordH2719, a swordH2719 sharpenedH2300 And alsoH1571 polishedH4803!10SharpenedH2300 to makeH2873 a 16slaughterH2874, PolishedH4803 17to flashH1300 like lightningH1300!’ OrH176 shall we rejoiceH7797, the 18rodH7626 of My sonH1121 19despisingH3988 everyH3605 treeH6086? 11It is givenH5414 to be polishedH4803, that it may be handledH8610; the swordH2719 is sharpenedH2300 and polishedH4803, to giveH5414 it into the handH3027 of the slayerH2026. 1220CryH2199 out and wailH3213, sonH1121 of manH120; for it is against My peopleH5971, it is against allH3605 the 21officialsH5387 of IsraelH3478. They are deliveredH4048 over to the swordH2719 with My peopleH5971, thereforeH3651 strikeH5606 your thighH3409. 13For there is a testingH976; and whatH4100 ifH518 evenH1571 the 22rodH7626 which despisesH3988 will be noH3808 more?” declaresH5002 the LordH136 GodH3068.

14“You therefore, sonH1121 of manH120, prophesyH5012 and clapH5221 your handsH3709 togetherH413H3709; and let the swordH2719 be 23doubledH3717 the thirdH7992 timeH7992, the swordH2719 for the slainH2491. It is the swordH2719 for the greatH1419 oneH1419 slainH2491, which surroundsH2314 them, 15that their 24heartsH3820 may meltH4127, and manyH7235 25fallH4383 at allH3605 their 26gatesH8179. I have givenH5414 the glitteringH19 swordH2719. AhH253! It is madeH6213 for striking like lightningH1300, it is wrappedH5844 up in readiness for slaughterH2874. 1627ShowH2300 yourself sharpH2300, goH3231 to the rightH3231; setH7760 yourself; goH8041 to the leftH8041, whereverH575 your 28edgeH6440 is appointedH3259. 17I will alsoH1571 clapH5221 My handsH3709 togetherH413H3709, and I will 2930appeaseH5117 My wrathH2534; I, the LordH3068, have spokenH1696.”
