Ezekiel 21:2
Son{H1121} of man{H120}, set{H7760}{(H8798)} thy face{H6440} toward Jerusalem{H3389}, and drop{H5197}{(H8685)} thy word toward the holy places{H4720}, and prophesy{H5012}{(H8734)} against the land{H127} of Israel{H3478},
Ezekiel 21:3
And say{H559}{(H8804)} to the land{H127} of Israel{H3478}, Thus saith{H559}{(H8804)} the LORD{H3068}; Behold, I am against thee, and will draw forth{H3318}{(H8689)} my sword{H2719} out of his sheath{H8593}, and will cut off{H3772}{(H8689)} from thee the righteous{H6662} and the wicked{H7563}.
Ezekiel 21:4
Seeing{H3282} then that I will cut off{H3772}{(H8689)} from thee the righteous{H6662} and the wicked{H7563}, therefore shall my sword{H2719} go forth{H3318}{(H8799)} out of his sheath{H8593} against all flesh{H1320} from the south{H5045} to the north{H6828}:
Ezekiel 21:5
That all flesh{H1320} may know{H3045}{(H8804)} that I the LORD{H3068} have drawn forth{H3318}{(H8689)} my sword{H2719} out of his sheath{H8593}: it shall not return{H7725}{(H8799)} any more.
Ezekiel 21:6
Sigh{H584}{(H8734)} therefore, thou son{H1121} of man{H120}, with the breaking{H7670} of thy loins{H4975}; and with bitterness{H4814} sigh{H584}{(H8735)} before their eyes{H5869}.
Ezekiel 21:7
And it shall be, when they say{H559}{(H8799)} unto thee, Wherefore sighest{H584}{(H8737)} thou? that thou shalt answer{H559}{(H8804)}, For the tidings{H8052}; because it cometh{H935}{(H8802)}: and every heart{H3820} shall melt{H4549}{(H8738)}, and all hands{H3027} shall be feeble{H7503}{(H8804)}, and every spirit{H7307} shall faint{H3543}{(H8765)}, and all knees{H1290} shall be weak{H3212}{(H8799)} as water{H4325}: behold, it cometh{H935}{(H8802)}, and shall be brought to pass{H1961}{(H8738)}, saith{H5002}{(H8803)} the Lord{H136} GOD{H3069}.
Ezekiel 21:8

Ezekiel 21:9
Son{H1121} of man{H120}, prophesy{H5012}{(H8734)}, and say{H559}{(H8804)}, Thus saith{H559}{(H8804)} the LORD{H3068}; Say{H559}{(H8798)}, A sword{H2719}, a sword{H2719} is sharpened{H2300}{(H8717)}, and also furbished{H4803}{(H8803)}:
Ezekiel 21:10
It is sharpened{H2300}{(H8717)} to make a sore{H2874} slaughter{H2873}{(H8800)}; it is furbished{H4178}{(H8794)} that it may glitter{H1300}: should{H176} we then make mirth{H7797}{(H8799)}? it contemneth{H3988}{(H8802)} the rod{H7626} of my son{H1121}, as every tree{H6086}.
Ezekiel 21:11
And he hath given{H5414}{(H8799)} it to be furbished{H4803}{(H8800)}, that it may be handled{H3709}{H8610}{(H8800)}: this sword{H2719} is sharpened{H2300}{(H8717)}, and it is furbished{H4178}{(H8794)}, to give{H5414}{(H8800)} it into the hand{H3027} of the slayer{H2026}{(H8802)}.
Ezekiel 21:12
Cry{H2199}{(H8798)} and howl{H3213}{(H8685)}, son{H1121} of man{H120}: for it shall be upon my people{H5971}, it shall be upon all the princes{H5387} of Israel{H3478}: terrors{H4048}{(H8803)} by reason of{H413} the sword{H2719} shall be upon my people{H5971}: smite{H5606}{(H8798)} therefore upon thy thigh{H3409}.
Ezekiel 21:13
Because it is a trial{H974}{(H8795)}, and what if the sword contemn{H3988}{(H8802)} even the rod{H7626}? it shall be no more, saith{H5002}{(H8803)} the Lord{H136} GOD{H3069}.
Ezekiel 21:14
Thou therefore, son{H1121} of man{H120}, prophesy{H5012}{(H8734)}, and smite{H5221} thine hands{H3709}{H3709} together{H5221}{(H8685)}, and let the sword{H2719} be doubled{H3717}{(H8735)} the third{H7992} time, the sword{H2719} of the slain{H2491}: it is the sword{H2719} of the great{H1419} men that are slain{H2491}, which entereth into their privy chambers{H2314}{(H8802)}.
Ezekiel 21:15
I have set{H5414}{(H8804)} the point{H19} of the sword{H2719} against all their gates{H8179}, that their heart{H3820} may faint{H4127}{(H8800)}, and their ruins{H4383} be multiplied{H7235}{(H8687)}: ah{H253}! it is made{H6213}{(H8803)} bright{H1300}, it is wrapped up{H4593} for the slaughter{H2874}.
Ezekiel 21:16
Go thee one way or other{H258}{(H8690)}, either on{H7760}{(H8685)} the right hand{H3231}{(H8685)}, or on the left{H8041}{(H8685)}, whithersoever{H575} thy face{H6440} is set{H3259}{(H8716)}.
Ezekiel 21:17
I will also smite{H5221}{(H8686)} mine hands{H3709} together{H3709}, and I will cause my fury{H2534} to rest{H5117}{(H8689)}: I the LORD{H3068} have said{H1696}{(H8765)} it.
Ezekiel 21:18
The word{H1697} of the LORD{H3068} came unto me again, saying{H559}{(H8800)},

Also, thou son{H1121} of man{H120}, appoint{H7760}{(H8798)} thee two{H8147} ways{H1870}, that the sword{H2719} of the king{H4428} of Babylon{H894} may come{H935}{(H8800)}: both twain{H8147} shall come forth{H3318}{(H8799)} out of one{H259} land{H776}: and choose{H1254}{(H8761)} thou a place{H3027}, choose{H1254}{(H8761)} it at the head{H7218} of the way{H1870} to the city{H5892}.
Ezekiel 21:20
Appoint{H7760}{(H8799)} a way{H1870}, that the sword{H2719} may come{H935}{(H8800)} to Rabbath{H7237} of the Ammonites{H1121}{H5983}, and to Judah{H3063} in Jerusalem{H3389} the defenced{H1219}{(H8803)}.
Ezekiel 21:21
For the king{H4428} of Babylon{H894} stood{H5975}{(H8804)} at the parting{H517} of the way{H1870}, at the head{H7218} of the two{H8147} ways{H1870}, to use{H7080}{(H8800)} divination{H7081}: he made his arrows{H2671} bright{H7043}{(H8773)}, he consulted{H7592}{(H8804)} with images{H8655}, he looked{H7200}{(H8804)} in the liver{H3516}.
Ezekiel 21:22
At his right hand{H3225} was the divination{H7081} for Jerusalem{H3389}, to appoint{H7760}{(H8800)} captains{H3733}, to open{H6605}{(H8800)} the mouth{H6310} in the slaughter{H7524}, to lift up{H7311}{(H8687)} the voice{H6963} with shouting{H8643}, to appoint{H7760}{(H8800)} battering rams{H3733} against the gates{H8179}, to cast{H8210}{(H8800)} a mount{H5550}, and to build{H1129}{(H8800)} a fort{H1785}.
Ezekiel 21:23
And it shall be unto them as a false{H7723} divination{H7080}{(H8800)} in their sight{H5869}, to them that have sworn{H7650}{(H8803)} oaths{H7621}: but he will call to remembrance{H2142}{(H8688)} the iniquity{H5771}, that they may be taken{H8610}{(H8736)}.
Ezekiel 21:24
Therefore thus saith{H559}{(H8804)} the Lord{H136} GOD{H3069}; Because ye have made your iniquity{H5771} to be remembered{H2142}{(H8687)}, in that your transgressions{H6588} are discovered{H1540}{(H8736)}, so that in all your doings{H5949} your sins{H2403} do appear{H7200}{(H8736)}; because, I say, that ye are come to remembrance{H2142}{(H8736)}, ye shall be taken{H8610}{(H8735)} with the hand{H3709}.
Ezekiel 21:25
And thou, profane{H2491} wicked{H7563} prince{H5387} of Israel{H3478}, whose day{H3117} is come{H935}{(H8804)}, when{H6256} iniquity{H5771} shall have an end{H7093},
Ezekiel 21:26
Thus saith{H559}{(H8804)} the Lord{H136} GOD{H3069}; Remove{H5493}{(H8685)} the diadem{H4701}, and take off{H7311}{(H8685)} the crown{H5850}: this shall not be the same{H2063}: exalt{H1361}{(H8687)} him that is low{H8217}, and abase{H8213}{(H8687)} him that is high{H1364}.
Ezekiel 21:27
I will overturn{H5754}, overturn{H5754}, overturn{H5754}, it: and it shall be{H7760}{(H8799)} no more, until he come{H935}{(H8800)} whose right{H4941} it is; and I will give{H5414}{(H8804)} it him.
Ezekiel 21:28

Ezekiel 21:30
Shall I cause it to return{H7725}{(H8685)} into his sheath{H8593}? I will judge{H8199}{(H8799)} thee in the place{H4725} where thou wast created{H1254}{(H8738)}, in the land{H776} of thy nativity{H4351}.
Ezekiel 21:31
And I will pour out{H8210}{(H8804)} mine indignation{H2195} upon thee, I will blow{H6315}{(H8686)} against thee in the fire{H784} of my wrath{H5678}, and deliver{H5414}{(H8804)} thee into the hand{H3027} of brutish{H1197}{(H8802)} men{H582}, and skilful{H2796} to destroy{H4889}.
