Ezekiel 21:1-6

Third Millennium Bible TMB

1 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

2 "Son of man, set thy face toward Jerusalem, and drop thy word toward the holy places, and prophesy against the land of Israel;

3 and say to the land of Israel, `Thus saith the LORD: Behold, I am against thee, and will draw forth My sword out of his sheath and will cut off from thee the righteous and the wicked.

4 Seeing then that I will cut off from thee the righteous and the wicked, therefore shall My sword go forth out of his sheath against all flesh from the south to the north,

5 that all flesh may know that I, the LORD, have drawn forth My sword out of his sheath. It shall not return any more.'

6 Sigh therefore, thou son of man, with the breaking of thy loins, and with bitterness sigh before their eyes.

3 and say to her: ‘This is what the LORD says: I am against you. I will draw my sword from its sheath and cut off from you both the righteous and the wicked.

4 Because I am going to cut off the righteous and the wicked, my sword will be unsheathed against everyone from south to north.

5 Then all people will know that I the LORD have drawn my sword from its sheath; it will not return again.’
