Ezekiel 21:8-27

8Again the wordH1697 of the LordH3068 cameH1961 to me, sayingH559, 9“SonH1121 of manH120, prophesyH5012 and sayH559, ‘ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068.’ SayH559, ‘1A swordH2719, a swordH2719 sharpenedH2300 And alsoH1571 polishedH4803!10SharpenedH2300 to makeH2873 a 2slaughterH2874, PolishedH4803 3to flashH1300 like lightningH1300!’ OrH176 shall we rejoiceH7797, the 4rodH7626 of My sonH1121 5despisingH3988 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. 126CryH2199 out and wailH3213, sonH1121 of manH120; for it is against My peopleH5971, it is against allH3605 the 7officialsH5387 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 8rodH7626 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 9doubledH3717 the thirdH7992 timeH7992, the swordH2719 for the slainH2491. It is the swordH2719 for the greatH1419 oneH1419 slainH2491, which surroundsH2314 them, 15that their 10heartsH3820 may meltH4127, and manyH7235 11fallH4383 at allH3605 their 12gatesH8179. I have givenH5414 the glitteringH19 swordH2719. AhH253! It is madeH6213 for striking like lightningH1300, it is wrappedH5844 up in readiness for slaughterH2874. 1613ShowH2300 yourself sharpH2300, goH3231 to the rightH3231; setH7760 yourself; goH8041 to the leftH8041, whereverH575 your 14edgeH6440 is appointedH3259. 17I will alsoH1571 clapH5221 My handsH3709 togetherH413H3709, and I will 1516appeaseH5117 My wrathH2534; I, the LordH3068, have spokenH1696.”

18The wordH1697 of the LordH3068 cameH1961 to me sayingH559, 19“As for you, sonH1121 of manH120, 1718makeH7760 twoH8147 waysH1870 for the swordH2719 of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 to comeH935; bothH8147 of them will goH3318 out of oneH259 landH776. And 19makeH1254 a signpostH3027; 20makeH1254 it at the headH7218 of the wayH1870 to the cityH5892. 20You shall 21markH7760 a wayH1870 for the swordH2719 to comeH935 to 22RabbahH7237 of the sonsH1121 of AmmonH5983, and to JudahH3063 into 23fortifiedH1219 JerusalemH3389. 21For the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 standsH5975 at the 24partingH517 of the wayH1870, at the headH7218 of the twoH8147 waysH1870, to useH7080 25divinationH7081; he 26shakesH7043 the arrowsH2671, he consultsH7592 the 2728householdH8655 idolsH8655, he looksH7200 at the liverH3516. 22Into his rightH3225 handH3225 cameH1961 the divinationH7081, ‘JerusalemH3389,’ to 29setH7760 batteringH3733 ramsH3733, to openH6605 the mouthH6310 30for 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; 31they have sworn solemnH7650 oathsH7621. But he 32bringsH2142 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 33dayH3117 has comeH935, in the timeH6256 of the 34punishmentH5771 of the endH7093,’ 26thusH3541 saysH559 the LordH136 GodH3068, ‘RemoveH5493 the turbanH4701 and takeH7311 offH7311 the 35crownH5850; thisH2088 will 36noH3808 longer be the sameH2088. 37ExaltH1361 that whichH8217 is lowH8217 and abaseH8213 that whichH1364 is highH1364. 2738A ruinH5754, a ruinH5754, a ruinH5754, I will makeH7760 it. ThisH2088 alsoH1571 will be noH3808 more untilH5704 39He comesH935 whoseH834 rightH4941 it is, and I will giveH5414 it to Him.’
