Ezekiel 21:1-7

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.”
