1And the word of the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) came unto me, saying, 2Son of man, set yourⁱ face toward Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace], and drop [youⁱ word] toward the holy places, and prophesy against the land of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], 3And say to the land of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], Thus says the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate); Behold, I [am] against youⁱ, and will draw forth my sword out of his sheath, and will cut off from youⁱ the righteous and the wicked. 4Seeing then that I will cut off from youⁱ the righteous and the wicked, therefore shall my sword go forth out of his sheath against all flesh from the south to the north: 5That all flesh may know that I the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) have drawn forth my sword out of his sheath: it shall not return any more. 6Sigh therefore, youⁱ Son of man, with the breaking of [yourⁱ] waist; and with bitterness sigh before their eyes. 7And it shall be, when they say unto youⁱ, For what reason sigh youⁱ? that youⁱ shall answer, For the tidings; because it comes: 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 comes, and shall be brought to pass, says the Lord-Adonai [Greatest Above All Things] GOD-Yehoveeh (THE FATHER).

8Again the word of the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) came unto me, saying,

9Son of man, prophesy, and say, Thus says the Lord-Adonai (The Father)[Greatest Above All Things]; Say, A sword, a sword is sharpened, and also furbished:

10It is sharpened to make a sore slaughter; it is furbished that it may glitter: should we then make gladness? it scorns the rod of my son, [as] every tree.

11And he has 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. 12Cry and howl, Son of man: for it shall be upon my people, it [shall be] upon all the princes of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God]: terrors by reason of the sword shall be upon my people: strike therefore upon [youⁱ] thigh. 13Because [it is] a trial, and what if [the sword] contemn (despise with mockery; show contempt) even the rod? it shall be no [more], says the Lord-Adonai [Greatest Above All Things] GOD-Yehoveeh (THE FATHER).

14Youⁱ therefore, Son of man, prophesy, and strike [yourⁱ] 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 enters into their private chambers. 15I 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. 16Go youⁱ one way or other, [either] on the right hand, [or] on the left, to wherever yourⁱ face [is] set. 17I will also strike my hands together, and I will cause my fury to rest: I the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) have said [it].

18The word of the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) came unto me again, saying, 19Also, youⁱ Son of man, appoint youⁱ two ways, that the sword of the king of Bavel (to jumble, or a confused medley of sounds; confusion; gate of the deity) (Babylon) [confusion] may come: both two shall come forth out of one land: and choose youⁱ a place, choose [it] at the head of the way to the city. 20Appoint a way, that the sword may come to Rabbah [Great] [Great] of the ‘Amon [Inbred], and to Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] in Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace] the fortified. 21For the king of Bavel (to jumble, or a confused medley of sounds; confusion; gate of the deity) (Babylon) [confusion] 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. 22At his right hand was the divination for Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace], 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. 23And it shall be unto them as a false divination in their sight, to them that have sworn oaths: but he will call to (to do entirely, do wholly) remembrance the iniquity, that they may be taken.

24Therefore thus says the Lord-Adonai [Greatest Above All Things] GOD-Yehoveeh (THE FATHER); Because you^2f 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 you^2f are come to remembrance, you^2f shall be taken with the hand. 25And youⁱ, Profane (treat as common; defile) wicked prince of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], whose day is come, when iniquity [shall have] an end, 26Thus says the Lord-Adonai [Greatest Above All Things] GOD-Yehoveeh (THE FATHER); Remove the Diadem (royal headband worn by Eastern kings), and take off the crown: this [shall] not [be] the same: exalt [him that is] low, and abase [him that is] high. 27I will overturn, overturn, overturn, it: and it shall be no [more], until he come whose right it is; and I will give it [him].

28And youⁱ, Son of man, prophesy and say, Thus says the Lord-Adonai [Greatest Above All Things] GOD-Yehoveeh (THE FATHER) concerning the ‘Amon [Inbred], and concerning their reproach (disgrace; shame); even say youⁱ, The sword, the sword [is] drawn: for the slaughter [it is] furbished, to consume because of the glittering: 29Whiles they see vanity unto youⁱ, whiles they divine a lie unto youⁱ, to bring youⁱ upon the necks of [them that are] slain, of the wicked, whose day is come, when their iniquity [shall have] an end. 30Shall I cause [it] to return into his sheath? I will judge youⁱ in the place where youⁱ were created, in the land of yourⁱ nativity. 31And I will pour out my indignation upon youⁱ, I will blow against youⁱ in the fire of my wrath, and deliver youⁱ into the hand of cruel men, [and] skillful to destroy. 32Youⁱ shall be for fuel to the fire; yourⁱ blood shall be in the midst of the land; youⁱ shall be no [more] remembered: for I the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) have spoken [it].
