11And the wordH1697 of the LordH3068 cameH1961 to me, sayingH559, 2“SonH1121 of manH120, 2setH7760 your faceH6440 againstH413 JerusalemH3389, and 34speakH5197 propheticallyH5197 againstH413 the sanctuariesH4720 and prophesyH5012 againstH413 the landH127 of IsraelH3478; 3and sayH559 to the landH127 of IsraelH3478, ‘ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH3068 saysH559: “BeholdH2009, 5I am againstH413 you; and I will drawH3318 My swordH2719 from its sheathH8593 and cutH3772 offH3772 from you the 6righteousH6662 and the wickedH7563. 4BecauseH3282H834 I will cutH3772 offH3772 from you the righteousH6662 and the wickedH7563, thereforeH3651 My swordH2719 will goH3318 outH3318 from its sheathH8593 againstH413 78humanityH3605H1320 from southH5045 to northH6828. 5So 9humanityH3605H1320 will knowH3045 that I, the LordH3068, have drawnH3318 My swordH2719 from its sheathH8593. It will 10not returnH7725 to its sheath againH5750.”’ 6As for you, sonH1121 of manH120, groanH584 with 11a breakingH7670 heartH4975 and bitterH4814 griefH4814; you shall groanH584 in their sightH5869. 7And whenH3588 they sayH559 to you, ‘WhyH5921H4100 are you groaningH584?’ you shall sayH559, ‘BecauseH413 of the 12newsH8052, for it is comingH935; and 13everyH3605 heartH3820 will meltH4549, allH3605 handsH3027 will goH7503 limpH7503, everyH3605 spiritH7307 will be disheartenedH3543, and allH3605 14kneesH1290 will dripH1980 with waterH4325. BeholdH2009, it is comingH935 and it will happenH1961,’ declaresH5002 the LordH136 15GodH3068.”
