Unchecked Copy BoxEze 21:1 - And the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 21:2 - Son of man, set thy face towards Jerusalem, and drop thy word towards the holy places, and prophesy against the land of Israel,
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 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 its sheath, and will cut off from thee the righteous and the wicked.
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 21:4 - Seeing then that I will cut off from thee the righteous and the wicked, therefore shall my sword go forth from its sheath against all flesh from the south to the north:
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 21:5 - That all flesh may know that I the LORD have drawn my sword out of its sheath: it shall not return any more.
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 21:6 - Sigh therefore, thou son of man, with the breaking of thy loins; and with bitterness sigh before their eyes.
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 21:7 - And it shall be, when they say to thee, Why 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.
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 21:8 - Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 21:9 - Son of man, prophesy, and say, Thus saith the LORD; Say, A sword, a sword is sharpened, and also furbished:
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 21:10 - It is sharpened to make a grievous slaughter; it is furbished that it may glitter: should we then make mirth? it contemneth the rod of my son, as every tree.
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 21:11 - And he hath given it to be furbished, that it may be handled: the sword is sharpened, and it is furbished, to give it into the hand of the slayer.
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 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.
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 21:13 - Because it is a trial, and what if the sword contemneth even the rod? it shall be no more, saith the Lord GOD.
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 21:14 - Thou therefore, son of man, prophesy, and smite thy 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 private chambers.
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 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 sharpened for the slaughter.
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 21:16 - Go thee one way or other, either on the right hand, or on the left, whithersoever thy face is set.
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 21:17 - I will also smite my hands together, and I will cause my fury to rest: I the LORD have said it.

The Instrument of God's Judgment

Unchecked Copy BoxEze 21:18 - The word of the LORD came to me again, saying,
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 21:19 - Also, thou son of man, appoint thee two ways, that the sword of the king of Babylon may come: both ways shall come forth from one land: and choose thou a place, choose it at the head of the way to the city.
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 21:20 - Appoint a way, that the sword may come to Rabbah of the Ammonites, and to Judah in Jerusalem the fortified.
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 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.
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 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.
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 21:23 - And it shall be to 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.
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 21:24 - Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because ye have made your iniquity to be remembered, in that your transgressions are disclosed, 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.
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 21:25 - And thou, profane wicked prince of Israel, whose day is come, when iniquity shall have an end,
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 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.
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 21:27 - I will overturn, overturn, overturn it: and it shall be no more, until he cometh whose right it is; and I will give it him.
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 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:
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 21:29 - While they see vanity to thee, while they divine a lie to 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.
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 21:30 - Shall I cause it to return into its sheath? I will judge thee in the place where thou wast created, in the land of thy nativity.
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 21:31 - And I will pour out my indignation upon thee, I will blow against thee in the fire of my wrath, and deliver thee into the hand of brutish men, and skillful to destroy.
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 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.
