Ezekiel 21:12-21
121CryH2199 outH2199 and wailH3213, sonH1121 of manH120; for it is against My peopleH5971, it is against allH3605 the 2officialsH5387 of IsraelH3478. They are turnedH5064 overH5064 to the swordH2719 with My peopleH5971, thereforeH3651 3slapH5606 your thighH3409. 13For there is a testingH976; and whatH4100 ifH518 evenH1571 the 4rodH7626 which despisesH3988 will ceaseH3808 to be?” declaresH5002 the LordH136 GodH3068.
14“You therefore, sonH1121 of manH120, prophesyH5012 and clapH5221 your handsH3709; and let the swordH2719 be 5doubledH3717 the thirdH7992 timeH7992, the swordH2719 for the slainH2491. It is the swordH2719 for the greatH1419 oneH1419 slainH2491, which surroundsH2314 them, 15soH4616 thatH4616 their 6heartsH3820 will waverH4127, and manyH7235 7fallH3782 at allH3605 their 8gatesH8179. I have grantedH5414 the slaughterH2878 of the swordH2719. OhH253! It is madeH6213 for striking like lightningH1300, it is sharpenedH4803 in readiness for slaughterH2874. 16ProveH2300 yourself sharpH2300, goH3231 to the rightH3231; setH7760 yourself; goH8041 to the leftH8041, whereverH575 your 9edgeH6440 is orderedH3259. 17I will alsoH1571 clapH5221 My handsH3709, and I will 10satisfyH5117 My wrathH2534; I, the LordH3068, have spokenH1696.”
18And the wordH1697 of the LordH3068 cameH1961 to me, sayingH559, 19“Now as for you, sonH1121 of manH120, 1112makeH7760 twoH8147 waysH1870 for the swordH2719 of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 to comeH935; bothH8147 of them will goH3318 outH3318 of oneH259 landH776. And 13makeH1254 a signpostH3027; 14makeH1254 it at the headH7218 of the wayH1870 to the cityH5892. 20You shall 15markH7760 a wayH1870 for the swordH2719 to comeH935 to 16RabbahH7237 of the sonsH1121 of AmmonH5983, and to JudahH3063 into 17fortifiedH1219 JerusalemH3389. 21For the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 standsH5975 at the 18partingH517 of the wayH1870, at the headH7218 of the twoH8147 waysH1870, to useH7080 19divinationH7081; he 20shakesH7043 the arrowsH2671, he consultsH7592 the 2122householdH8655 idolsH8655, he looksH7200 at the liverH3516.
