Ezekiel 21:18-24
18And the wordH1697 of the LordH3068 cameH1961 to me, sayingH559, 19“Now as for you, sonH1121 of manH120, 12makeH7760 twoH8147 waysH1870 for the swordH2719 of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 to comeH935; bothH8147 of them will goH3318 outH3318 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 upH7760 batteringH3733 ramsH3733, to openH6605 the mouthH6310 14for 15slaughterH7524, to raiseH7311 the voiceH6963 with a battleH8643 cryH8643, to setH7760 upH7760 batteringH3733 ramsH3733 againstH5921 the gatesH8179, to pileH8210 upH8210 assaultH5550 rampsH5550, to buildH1129 a siegeH1785 wallH1785. 23And it will be to them like a falseH7723 divinationH7080 in their eyesH5869; 16they have sworn solemnH7650 oathsH7621. But he 17makesH2142 guiltH5771 knownH2142, so that they may be seizedH8610.
24“ThereforeH3651, thisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH136 GodH3068 saysH559: ‘BecauseH3282 you have madeH2142 your guiltH5771 knownH2142, in that your offensesH6588 are uncoveredH1540, so that in allH3605 your deedsH5949 your sinsH2403 are seenH7200--becauseH3282 you have comeH2142 toH2142 mindH2142, you will be seizedH8610 by the handH3709.
