Ezekiel 21 (kjv)

And the word^H1697 of the LORD^H3068 came unto me, saying^H559,²Son^H1121 of man^H120, set^H7760 thy face^H6440 toward Jerusalem^H3389, and drop^H5197 thy word toward the holy places^H4720, and prophesy^H5012 against the land^H127 of Israel^H3478,³And say^H559 to the land^H127 of Israel^H3478, Thus saith^H559 the LORD^H3068; Behold, I am against thee, and will draw forth^H3318 my sword^H2719 out of his sheath^H8593, and will cut off^H3772 from thee the righteous^H6662 and the wicked^H7563.⁴Seeing^H3282 then that I will cut off^H3772 from thee the righteous^H6662 and the wicked^H7563, therefore shall my sword^H2719 go forth^H3318 out of his sheath^H8593 against all flesh^H1320 from the south^H5045 to the north^H6828:⁵That all flesh^H1320 may know^H3045 that I the LORD^H3068 have drawn forth^H3318 my sword^H2719 out of his sheath^H8593: it shall not return^H7725 any more.⁶Sigh^H584 therefore, thou son^H1121 of man^H120, with the breaking^H7670 of thy loins^H4975; and with bitterness^H4814 sigh^H584 before their eyes^H5869.⁷And it shall be, when they say^H559 unto thee, Wherefore sighest^H584 thou? that thou shalt answer^H559, For the tidings^H8052; because it cometh^H935: and every heart^H3820 shall melt^H4549, and all hands^H3027 shall be feeble^H7503, and every spirit^H7307 shall faint^H3543, and all knees^H1290 shall be weak^H3212 as water^H4325: behold, it cometh^H935, and shall be brought to pass^H1961, saith^H5002 the Lord^H136 GOD^H3069.

⁸Again the word^H1697 of the LORD^H3068 came unto me, saying^H559,⁹Son^H1121 of man^H120, prophesy^H5012, and say^H559, Thus saith^H559 the LORD^H3068; Say^H559, A sword^H2719, a sword^H2719 is sharpened^H2300, and also furbished^H4803:¹⁰It is sharpened^H2300 to make a sore^H2874 slaughter^H2873; it is furbished^H4178 that it may glitter^H1300: should^H176 we then make mirth^H7797? it contemneth^H3988 the rod^H7626 of my son^H1121, as every tree^H6086.¹¹And he hath given^H5414 it to be furbished^H4803, that it may be handled^{H3709 H8610}: this sword^H2719 is sharpened^H2300, and it is furbished^H4178, to give^H5414 it into the hand^H3027 of the slayer^H2026.¹²Cry^H2199 and howl^H3213, son^H1121 of man^H120: for it shall be upon my people^H5971, it shall be upon all the princes^H5387 of Israel^H3478: terrors^H4048 by reason of^H413 the sword^H2719 shall be upon my people^H5971: smite^H5606 therefore upon thy thigh^H3409.¹³Because it is a trial^H974, and what if the sword contemn^H3988 even the rod^H7626? it shall be no more, saith^H5002 the Lord^H136 GOD^H3069.¹⁴Thou therefore, son^H1121 of man^H120, prophesy^H5012, and smite^H5221 thine hands^{H3709 H3709} together^H5221, and let the sword^H2719 be doubled^H3717 the third^H7992 time, the sword^H2719 of the slain^H2491: it is the sword^H2719 of the great^H1419 men that are slain^H2491, which entereth into their privy chambers^H2314.¹⁵I have set^H5414 the point^H19 of the sword^H2719 against all their gates^H8179, that their heart^H3820 may faint^H4127, and their ruins^H4383 be multiplied^H7235: ah^H253! it is made^H6213 bright^H1300, it is wrapped up^H4593 for the slaughter^H2874.¹⁶Go thee one way or other^H258, either on^H7760 the right hand^H3231, or on the left^H8041, whithersoever^H575 thy face^H6440 is set^H3259.¹⁷I will also smite^H5221 mine hands^H3709 together^H3709, and I will cause my fury^H2534 to rest^H5117: I the LORD^H3068 have said^H1696 it.

¹⁸The word^H1697 of the LORD^H3068 came unto me again, saying^H559,¹⁹Also, thou son^H1121 of man^H120, appoint^H7760 thee two^H8147 ways^H1870, that the sword^H2719 of the king^H4428 of Babylon^H894 may come^H935: both twain^H8147 shall come forth^H3318 out of one^H259 land^H776: and choose^H1254 thou a place^H3027, choose^H1254 it at the head^H7218 of the way^H1870 to the city^H5892.²⁰Appoint^H7760 a way^H1870, that the sword^H2719 may come^H935 to Rabbath^H7237 of the Ammonites^{H1121 H5983}, and to Judah^H3063 in Jerusalem^H3389 the defenced^H1219.²¹For the king^H4428 of Babylon^H894 stood^H5975 at the parting^H517 of the way^H1870, at the head^H7218 of the two^H8147 ways^H1870, to use^H7080 divination^H7081: he made his arrows^H2671 bright^H7043, he consulted^H7592 with images^H8655, he looked^H7200 in the liver^H3516.²²At his right hand^H3225 was the divination^H7081 for Jerusalem^H3389, to appoint^H7760 captains^H3733, to open^H6605 the mouth^H6310 in the slaughter^H7524, to lift up^H7311 the voice^H6963 with shouting^H8643, to appoint^H7760 battering rams^H3733 against the gates^H8179, to cast^H8210 a mount^H5550, and to build^H1129 a fort^H1785.²³And it shall be unto them as a false^H7723 divination^H7080 in their sight^H5869, to them that have sworn^H7650 oaths^H7621: but he will call to remembrance^H2142 the iniquity^H5771, that they may be taken^H8610.²⁴Therefore thus saith^H559 the Lord^H136 GOD^H3069; Because ye have made your iniquity^H5771 to be remembered^H2142, in that your transgressions^H6588 are discovered^H1540, so that in all your doings^H5949 your sins^H2403 do appear^H7200; because, I say, that ye are come to remembrance^H2142, ye shall be taken^H8610 with the hand^H3709.

²⁵And thou, profane^H2491 wicked^H7563 prince^H5387 of Israel^H3478, whose day^H3117 is come^H935, when^H6256 iniquity^H5771 shall have an end^H7093,²⁶Thus saith^H559 the Lord^H136 GOD^H3069; Remove^H5493 the diadem^H4701, and take off^H7311 the crown^H5850: this shall not be the same^H2063: exalt^H1361 him that is low^H8217, and abase^H8213 him that is high^H1364.²⁷I will overturn^H5754, overturn^H5754, overturn^H5754, it: and it shall be^H7760 no more, until he come^H935 whose right^H4941 it is; and I will give^H5414 it him.

²⁸And thou, son^H1121 of man^H120, prophesy^H5012 and say^H559, Thus saith^H559 the Lord^H136 GOD^H3069 concerning the Ammonites^{H1121 H5983}, and concerning their reproach^H2781; even say^H559 thou, The sword^H2719, the sword^H2719 is drawn^H6605: for the slaughter^H2874 it is furbished^H4803, to consume^H398 because of the glittering^H1300:²⁹Whiles they see^H2372 vanity^H7723 unto thee, whiles they divine^H7080 a lie^H3577 unto thee, to bring^H5414 thee upon the necks^H6677 of them that are slain^H2491, of the wicked^H7563, whose day^H3117 is come^H935, when^H6256 their iniquity^H5771 shall have an end^H7093.³⁰Shall I cause it to return^H7725 into his sheath^H8593? I will judge^H8199 thee in the place^H4725 where thou wast created^H1254, in the land^H776 of thy nativity^H4351.³¹And I will pour out^H8210 mine indignation^H2195 upon thee, I will blow^H6315 against thee in the fire^H784 of my wrath^H5678, and deliver^H5414 thee into the hand^H3027 of brutish^H1197 men^H582, and skilful^H2796 to destroy^H4889.³²Thou shalt be for fuel^H402 to the fire^H784; thy blood^H1818 shall be in the midst^H8432 of the land^H776; thou shalt be no more remembered^H2142: for I the LORD^H3068 have spoken^H1696 it.
