1 And the word of Jehovah will be to me, saying, 2 Son of man, set thy face to Jerusalem, and drop to the holy places, and prophesy to the land of Israel; 3 And say to the land of Israel, Thus said Jehovah: behold me against thee, and I brought forth my sword from its sheath, and I cut off from thee the just and the unjust. 4 Because that I cut off from thee the just and the unjust, for this my sword shall go forth from its sheath against all flesh, from south to north. 5 And all flesh knew that I Jehovah brought forth my sword from its sheath: it shall no more turn back. 6 And thou son of man, sigh with the breaking of the loins; and with bitterness thou shalt sigh before their eyes. 7 And it was when they shall say to thee, For what sighest thou? and say, For the report, because it came: and every heart melted and all hands were relaxed, and every spirit was weak, and all knees shall go into water: behold, it came, and it was, says the Lord Jehovah.
