EZE-21:1 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
EZE-21:2 Son of man, set thy face toward Jerusalem, and drop
[thy word] toward the holy places, and prophesy against the land
of Israel,
EZE-21:3 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.
EZE-21:4 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:
EZE-21:5 That all flesh may know that I the LORD have drawn
forth my sword out of his sheath: it shall not return any more.
EZE-21:6 Sigh therefore, thou son of man, with the breaking of
[thy] loins; and with bitterness sigh before their eyes.
EZE-21:7 And it shall be, when they say unto thee, Wherefore
sighest thou? that thou shalt answer, For the tidings; because
it cometh: and every heart shall melt, and all hands shall be
feeble, and every spirit shall faint, and all knees shall be
weak [as] water: behold, it cometh, and shall be brought to pass,
saith the Lord GOD.
EZE-21:8 Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
EZE-21:9 Son of man, prophesy, and say, Thus saith the LORD; Say,
A sword, a sword is sharpened, and also furbished:
EZE-21:10 It is sharpened to make a sore slaughter; it is
furbished that it may glitter: should we then make mirth? it
contemneth the rod of my son, [as] every tree.
EZE-21:11 And he hath given it to be furbished, that it may be
handled: this sword is sharpened, and it is furbished, to give
it into the hand of the slayer.
EZE-21:12 Cry and howl, son of man: for it shall be upon my
people, it [shall be] upon all the princes of Israel: terrors by
reason of the sword shall be upon my people: smite therefore
upon [thy] thigh.
EZE-21:13 Because [it is] a trial, and what if [the sword]
contemn even the rod? it shall be no [more], saith the Lord GOD.
EZE-21:14 Thou therefore, son of man, prophesy, and smite
[thine] hands together, and let the sword be doubled the third
time, the sword of the slain: it [is] the sword of the great
[men that are] slain, which entereth into their privy chambers.
EZE-21:15 I have set the point of the sword against all their
gates, that [their] heart may faint, and [their] ruins be
multiplied: ah! [it is] made bright, [it is] wrapped up for the
slaughter.
EZE-21:16 Go thee one way or other, [either] on the right hand,
[or] on the left, whithersoever thy face [is] set.
EZE-21:17 I will also smite mine hands together, and I will
cause my fury to rest: I the LORD have said [it].
EZE-21:18 The word of the LORD came unto me again, saying,
EZE-21:19 Also, thou son of man, appoint thee two ways, that the
sword of the king of Babylon may come: both twain shall come
forth out of one land: and choose thou a place, choose [it] at
the head of the way to the city.
EZE-21:20 Appoint a way, that the sword may come to Rabbath of
the Ammonites, and to Judah in Jerusalem the defenced.
EZE-21:21 For the king of Babylon stood at the parting of the
way, at the head of the two ways, to use divination: he made
[his] arrows bright, he consulted with images, he looked in the
liver.
EZE-21:22 At his right hand was the divination for Jerusalem, to
appoint captains, to open the mouth in the slaughter, to lift up
the voice with shouting, to appoint [battering] rams against the
gates, to cast a mount, [and] to build a fort.
EZE-21:23 And it shall be unto them as a false divination in
their sight, to them that have sworn oaths: but he will call to
remembrance the iniquity, that they may be taken.
EZE-21:24 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because ye have
made your iniquity to be remembered, in that your transgressions
are discovered, so that in all your doings your sins do appear;
because, [I say], that ye are come to remembrance, ye shall be
taken with the hand.
EZE-21:25 And thou, profane wicked prince of Israel, whose day
is come, when iniquity [shall have] an end,
EZE-21:26 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Remove the diadem, and take
off the crown: this [shall] not [be] the same: exalt [him that
is] low, and abase [him that is] high.
EZE-21:27 I will overturn, overturn, overturn, it: and it shall
be no [more], until he come whose right it is; and I will give
it [him].
EZE-21:28 And thou, son of man, prophesy and say, Thus saith the
Lord GOD concerning the Ammonites, and concerning their reproach;
even say thou, The sword, the sword [is] drawn: for the
slaughter [it is] furbished, to consume because of the
glittering:
EZE-21:29 Whiles they see vanity unto thee, whiles they divine a
lie unto thee, to bring thee upon the necks of [them that are]
slain, of the wicked, whose day is come, when their iniquity
[shall have] an end.
EZE-21:30 Shall I cause [it] to return into his sheath? I will
judge thee in the place where thou wast created, in the land of
thy nativity.
EZE-21:31 And I will pour out mine indignation upon thee, I will
blow against thee in the fire of my wrath, and deliver thee into
the hand of brutish men, [and] skilful to destroy.
EZE-21:32 Thou shalt be for fuel to the fire; thy blood shall be
in the midst of the land; thou shalt be no [more] remembered:
for I the LORD have spoken [it].
