Ezekiel 21:1-7

Common English Bible CEB

New International Version NIV

1 The LORD's word came to me:

1 The word of the LORD came to me:

2 Human one, face Jerusalem, preach against their sanctuary, and prophesy against Israel's fertile land.

2 “Son of man, set your face against Jerusalem and preach against the sanctuary. Prophesy against the land of Israel

3 Say to Israel's fertile land, The LORD proclaims: I'm now against you! I will draw my sword from its sheath and cut off both the righteous and the wicked from you.

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 In order to cut off the righteous and wicked from you, my sword will go out from its sheath against everyone from south to north.

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 And everyone will know that I, the LORD, have taken my sword out of its sheath. It won't be put away again.

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

6 You, human one, groan in their sight; groan bitterly with trembling knees.

6 “Therefore groan, son of man! Groan before them with broken heart and bitter grief.

7 If they ask you why you're groaning, say to them, "Because of the news." When it comes, every heart will despair, every hand will hang lifeless, every spirit will be listless, and urine will run down every leg. It's coming! It will happen! This is what the LORD God says.

7 And when they ask you, ‘Why are you groaning?’ you shall say, ‘Because of the news that is coming. Every heart will melt with fear and every hand go limp; every spirit will become faint and every leg will be wet with urine.’ It is coming! It will surely take place, declares the Sovereign LORD.”
