Ezekiel 21:18-27

18The wordH1697 of the LordH3068 cameH1961 to me sayingH559, 19“As for you, sonH1121 of manH120, 12makeH7760 twoH8147 waysH1870 for the swordH2719 of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 to comeH935; bothH8147 of them will goH3318 out of oneH259 landH776. And 3makeH1254 a signpostH3027; 4makeH1254 it at the headH7218 of the wayH1870 to the cityH5892. 20You shall 5markH7760 a wayH1870 for the swordH2719 to comeH935 to 6RabbahH7237 of the sonsH1121 of AmmonH5983, and to JudahH3063 into 7fortifiedH1219 JerusalemH3389. 21For the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 standsH5975 at the 8partingH517 of the wayH1870, at the headH7218 of the twoH8147 waysH1870, to useH7080 9divinationH7081; he 10shakesH7043 the arrowsH2671, he consultsH7592 the 1112householdH8655 idolsH8655, he looksH7200 at the liverH3516. 22Into his rightH3225 handH3225 cameH1961 the divinationH7081, ‘JerusalemH3389,’ to 13setH7760 batteringH3733 ramsH3733, to openH6605 the mouthH6310 14for slaughterH7524, to liftH7311 up the voiceH6963 with a battleH8643 cryH8643, to setH7760 batteringH3733 ramsH3733 againstH5921 the gatesH8179, to castH8210 up rampsH5550, to buildH1129 a siegeH1785 wallH1785. 23And it will be to them like a falseH7723 divinationH7080 in their eyesH5869; 15they have sworn solemnH7650 oathsH7621. But he 16bringsH2142 iniquityH5771 to remembranceH2142, that they may be seizedH8610.

24“ThereforeH3651, thusH3541 saysH559 the LordH136 GodH3068, ‘BecauseH3282 you have made your iniquityH5771 to be rememberedH2142, in that your transgressionsH6588 are uncoveredH1540, so that in allH3605 your deedsH5949 your sinsH2403 appearH7200--becauseH3282 you have comeH2142 to remembranceH2142, you will be seizedH8610 with the handH3709. 25And you, O slainH2491, wickedH7563 oneH7563, the princeH5387 of IsraelH3478, whoseH834 17dayH3117 has comeH935, in the timeH6256 of the 18punishmentH5771 of the endH7093,’ 26thusH3541 saysH559 the LordH136 GodH3068, ‘RemoveH5493 the turbanH4701 and takeH7311 offH7311 the 19crownH5850; thisH2088 will 20noH3808 longer be the sameH2088. 21ExaltH1361 that whichH8217 is lowH8217 and abaseH8213 that whichH1364 is highH1364. 2722A ruinH5754, a ruinH5754, a ruinH5754, I will makeH7760 it. ThisH2088 alsoH1571 will be noH3808 more untilH5704 23He comesH935 whoseH834 rightH4941 it is, and I will giveH5414 it to Him.’
