Ezekiel 21:1-5 ▼

1 And the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,

2 “Son of man, set your face toward Jerusalem and speak, dripping out words against the sanctuaries and prophesy against the land of Israel

3 and say to the land of Israel, ‘Thus says Yahweh, “Behold, I am against you; and I will bring out My sword from its sheath and cut off from you the righteous and the wicked.

4 Because I will cut off from you the righteous and the wicked, therefore My sword will go out from its sheath against all flesh from south to north.

5 Thus all flesh will know that I, Yahweh, have brought out My sword from its sheath. It will not return to its sheath again.”’
