Ezekiel 21:8-27

8Again the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came to me, sayingH559, 9SonH1121 of manH120, prophesyH5012, and sayH559, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; SayH559, A swordH2719, a swordH2719 is sharpenedH2300, and also polishedH4803: 10It is sharpenedH2300 to make a grievousH2874 slaughterH2873; it is polishedH4178 that it may glitterH1300: shouldH176 we then make mirthH7797? it despisethH3988 the rodH7626 of my sonH1121, as every treeH6086.1 11And he hath givenH5414 it to be polishedH4803, that it may be handledH3709H8610: the swordH2719 is sharpenedH2300, and it is polishedH4178, to giveH5414 it into the handH3027 of the slayerH2026. 12CryH2199 and wailH3213, sonH1121 of manH120: for it shall be upon my peopleH5971, it shall be upon all the princesH5387 of IsraelH3478: terrorsH4048 by reason ofH413 the swordH2719 shall be upon my peopleH5971: smiteH5606 therefore upon thy thighH3409.2 13Because it is a trialH974, and what if the sword despiseH3988 even the rodH7626? it shall be no more, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069.3 14Thou therefore, sonH1121 of manH120, prophesyH5012, and smiteH5221 thy handsH3709 togetherH5221, and let the swordH2719 be doubledH3717 the thirdH7992 time, the swordH2719 of the slainH2491: it is the swordH2719 of the greatH1419 men that are slainH2491, which entereth into their private chambersH2314.4 15I have setH5414 the pointH19 of the swordH2719 against all their gatesH8179, that their heartH3820 may faintH4127, and their ruinsH4383 be multipliedH7235: ahH253! it is madeH6213 brightH1300, it is sharpenedH4593 for the slaughterH2874.56 16Go thee one way or otherH258, either onH7760 the right handH3231, or on the leftH8041, whereverH575 thy faceH6440 is setH3259.7 17I will also smiteH5221 my handsH3709 togetherH3709, and I will cause my furyH2534 to restH5117: I the LORDH3068 have saidH1696 it .

18The wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came to me again, sayingH559, 19Also, thou sonH1121 of manH120, markH7760 twoH8147 waysH1870, that the swordH2719 of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 may comeH935: both ways shallH8147 come forthH3318 from oneH259 landH776: and chooseH1254 thou a placeH3027, chooseH1254 it at the headH7218 of the wayH1870 to the cityH5892. 20MarkH7760 a wayH1870, that the swordH2719 may comeH935 to RabbahH7237 of the AmmonitesH1121H5983, and to JudahH3063 in JerusalemH3389 the fortifiedH1219. 21For the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 stoodH5975 at the partingH517 of the wayH1870, at the headH7218 of the twoH8147 waysH1870, to useH7080 divinationH7081: he made his arrowsH2671 brightH7043, he consultedH7592 with imagesH8655, he lookedH7200 in the liverH3516.8910 22At his right handH3225 was the divinationH7081 for JerusalemH3389, to appointH7760 captainsH3733, to openH6605 the mouthH6310 in the slaughterH7524, to lift upH7311 the voiceH6963 with shoutingH8643, to appointH7760 battering ramsH3733 against the gatesH8179, to castH8210 a siege moundH5550, and to buildH1129 a fortH1785.11 23And it shall be to them as a falseH7723 divinationH7080 in their sightH5869, to them that have swornH7650 oathsH7621: but he will call to remembranceH2142 the iniquityH5771, that they may be takenH8610.12 24Therefore thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Because ye have made your iniquityH5771 to be rememberedH2142, in that your transgressionsH6588 are discoveredH1540, so that in all your doingsH5949 your sinsH2403 do appearH7200; because, I say, that ye are come to remembranceH2142, ye shall be takenH8610 with the handH3709. 25And thou, profaneH2491 wickedH7563 princeH5387 of IsraelH3478, whose dayH3117 is comeH935, whenH6256 iniquityH5771 shall have an endH7093, 26Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; RemoveH5493 the diademH4701, and take offH7311 the crownH5850: this shall not be the sameH2063: exaltH1361 him that is lowH8217, and abaseH8213 him that is highH1364. 27I will overturnH5754, overturnH5754, overturnH5754, it: and it shall beH7760 no more, until he comethH935 whose rightH4941 it is; and I will giveH5414 it him .13
