1
And the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 cameH1961 to me, saying,H559
2
SonH1121 of man,H120 setH7760 your faceH6440 towardH413 Jerusalem,H3389 and dropH5197 your word towardH413 the holyH4720 places, and prophesyH5012 againstH413 the landH127 of Israel,H3478
3
And sayH559 to the landH127 of Israel,H3478 ThusH3541 saidH559 the LORD;H3068 Behold,H2005 I am againstH413 you, and will drawH3318 forthH3318 my swordH2719 out of his sheath,H8593 and will cutH3772 off from you the righteousH6662 and the wicked.H7563
4
SeeingH3282 then that I will cutH3772 off from you the righteousH6662 and the wicked,H7563 therefore shall my swordH2719 goH3318 forthH3318 out of his sheathH8593 againstH413 allH3605 fleshH1320 from the southH5045 to the north:H6828
5
That allH3605 fleshH1320 may knowH3045 that I the LORDH3068 have drawnH3318 forthH3318 my swordH2719 out of his sheath:H8593 it shall not returnH7725 any more.H5750
6
SighH584 therefore, you sonH1121 of man,H120 with the breakingH7670 of your loins;H4975 and with bitternessH4814 sighH584 before their eyes.H5869
7
And it shall be, whenH3588 they sayH559 to you, WhyH5981 H4100 sighH584 you? that you shall answer,H559 For the tidings;H8052 becauseH3588 it comes:H935 and everyH3605 heartH3820 shall melt,H4549 and allH3605 handsH3027 shall be feeble,H7503 and everyH3605 spiritH7307 shall faint,H3543 and allH3605 kneesH1290 shall be weakH3212 as water:H4325 behold,H2009 it comes,H935 and shall be broughtH1961 to pass, saidH5002 the LordH136 GOD.H3069
8
Again the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 cameH1961 to me, saying,H559
9
SonH1121 of man,H120 prophesy,H5012 and say,H559 ThusH3541 saidH559 the LORD;H3068 Say,H559 A sword,H2719 a swordH2719 is sharpened,H2300 and alsoH1571 furbished:H4803
10
It is sharpenedH2300 to make a sore slaughter;H2873 it is furbishedH4803 that it may glitter:H1300 should we thenH176 make mirth?H7797 it scornsH3988 the rodH7626 of my son,H1121 as everyH3605 tree.H6086
11
And he has givenH5414 it to be furbished,H4803 that it may be handled:H8610 H3709 thisH1931 swordH2719 is sharpened,H2300 and it is furbished,H4803 to giveH5414 it into the handH3027 of the slayer.H2026
12
CryH2199 and howl,H3213 sonH1121 of man:H120 for it shall be on my people,H5971 it shall be on allH3605 the princesH5387 of Israel:H3478 terrorsH4048 by reasonH413 of the swordH2719 shall be on my people:H5971 smiteH5606 therefore on your thigh.H3409
13
BecauseH3588 it is a trial,H974 and whatH4100 ifH518 the sword scornH3988 evenH1571 the rod?H7626 it shall be noH3808 more, saidH5002 the LordH136 GOD.H3069
14
You therefore, sonH1121 of man,H120 prophesy,H5012 and smiteH5221 your handsH3709 together. and let the swordH2719 be doubledH3717 the thirdH7992 time, the swordH2719 of the slain:H2491 it is the swordH2719 of the greatH1419 men that are slain,H2491 which enters into their privyH2314 chambers.H2315
15
I have setH5414 the pointH19 of the swordH2719 againstH5921 allH3605 their gates,H8179 that their heartH3820 may faint,H4127 and their ruinsH4383 be multiplied:H7235 ah!H253 it is made bright,H1300 it is wrappedH4593 up for the slaughter.H2874
16
GoH258 you one way or other, either on the rightH3231 hand,H3231 or on the left,H8041 whereverH575 your faceH6440 is set.H3259
17
I will alsoH1571 smiteH5221 my handsH3709 together, and I will cause my furyH2534 to rest:H5117 I the LORDH3068 have saidH1696 it.
18
The wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 cameH1961 to me again, saying,H559
19
Also, you sonH1121 of man,H120 appointH7760 you twoH8147 ways,H1870 that the swordH2719 of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 may come:H935 both twoH8147 shall comeH3318 forthH3318 out of oneH259 land:H776 and chooseH1254 you a place,H3027 chooseH1254 it at the headH7218 of the wayH1870 to the city.H5892
20
AppointH7760 a way,H1870 that the swordH2719 may comeH935 to RabbathH7237 of the Ammonites,H1121 H5984 and to JudahH3063 in JerusalemH3389 the defended.H1219
21
For the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 stoodH5975 atH413 the partingH517 of the way,H1870 at the headH7218 of the twoH8147 ways,H1870 to useH7080 divination:H7081 he made his arrowsH2671 bright,H7043 he consultedH7592 with images,H8655 he lookedH7200 in the liver.H3516
22
At his rightH3225 handH3225 was the divinationH7081 for Jerusalem,H3389 to appointH7760 captains,H3733 to openH6605 the mouthH6310 in the slaughter,H7524 to liftH7311 up the voiceH6963 with shouting,H8643 to appointH7760 battering ramsH3733 againstH5921 the gates,H8179 to castH8210 a mount,H5550 and to buildH1129 a fort.H1785
23
And it shall be to them as a falseH7723 divinationH7080 in their sight,H5869 to them that have swornH7650 oaths:H7621 but he will callH2142 to remembranceH2142 the iniquity,H5771 that they may be taken.H8610
24
ThereforeH3651 thusH3541 saidH559 the LordH136 GOD;H3069 BecauseH3282 you have made your iniquityH5771 to be remembered,H2142 in that your transgressionsH6588 are discovered,H1540 so that in allH3605 your doingsH5949 your sinsH2403 do appear;H7200 because,H3282 I say, that you are come to remembrance,H2142 you shall be takenH8610 with the hand.H3079
25
And you, profaneH2491 wickedH7563 princeH5387 of Israel,H3478 whoseH834 dayH3117 is come,H935 whenH6256 iniquityH5771 shall have an end,H7093
26
ThusH3541 saidH559 the LordH136 GOD;H3069 RemoveH5493 the diadem,H4701 and takeH7311 off the crown:H5850 thisH2063 shall not be the same:H2063 exaltH1361 him that is low,H8217 and abaseH8213 him that is high.H1364
27
I will overturn,H5754 overturn,H5754 overturn,H5754 it: and it shall be noH3808 more, untilH5704 he comeH935 whoseH834 rightH4941 it is; and I will giveH5414 it him.
28
And you, sonH1121 of man,H120 prophesyH5012 and say,H559 ThusH3541 saidH559 the LordH136 GODH3069 concerningH413 the Ammonites,H1121 H5984 and concerningH413 their reproach;H2781 even sayH559 you, The sword,H2719 the swordH2719 is drawn:H6605 for the slaughterH2874 it is furbished,H4803 to consumeH398 becauseH4616 of the glittering:H1300
29
Whiles they seeH2372 vanityH7723 to you, whiles they divineH7080 a lieH3576 to you, to bringH5414 you on the necksH6677 of them that are slain,H2491 of the wicked,H7563 whoseH834 dayH3117 is come,H935 whenH6256 their iniquityH5771 shall have an end.H7093
30
Shall I cause it to returnH7725 into his sheath?H8593 I will judgeH8199 you in the placeH4725 whereH834 you were created,H1254 in the landH776 of your nativity.H4351
31
And I will pourH8210 out my indignationH2195 on you, I will blowH6315 againstH5921 you in the fireH784 of my wrath,H5678 and deliverH5414 you into the handH3027 of brutishH1197 men,H582 and skillfulH2796 to destroy.H4889
32
You shall be for fuelH402 to the fire;H784 your bloodH1818 shall be in the middleH8432 of the land;H776 you shall be noH3808 more remembered:H2142 for I the LORDH3068 have spokenH1696 it.
