1 # And the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> came unto me, saying <0559> (8800),
2 Son <01121> of man <0120>, set <07760> (8798) thy face <06440> toward Jerusalem <03389>, and drop <05197> (8685) thy word toward the holy places <04720>, and prophesy <05012> (8734) against the land <0127> of Israel <03478>,
3 And say <0559> (8804) to the land <0127> of Israel <03478>, Thus saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068>; Behold, I am against thee, and will draw forth <03318> (8689) my sword <02719> out of his sheath <08593>, and will cut off <03772> (8689) from thee the righteous <06662> and the wicked <07563>.
4 Seeing <03282> then that I will cut off <03772> (8689) from thee the righteous <06662> and the wicked <07563> , therefore shall my sword <02719> go forth <03318> (8799) out of his sheath <08593> against all flesh <01320> from the south <05045> to the north <06828>:
5 That all flesh <01320> may know <03045> (8804) that I the LORD <03068> have drawn forth <03318> (8689) my sword <02719> out of his sheath <08593>: it shall not return <07725> (8799) any more.
6 Sigh <0584> (8734) therefore, thou son <01121> of man <0120>, with the breaking <07670> of thy loins <04975>; and with bitterness <04814> sigh <0584> (8735) before their eyes <05869>.
7 And it shall be, when they say <0559> (8799) unto thee, Wherefore sighest <0584> (8737) thou? that thou shalt answer <0559> (8804), For the tidings <08052>; because it cometh <0935> (8802): and every heart <03820> shall melt <04549> (8738), and all hands <03027> shall be feeble <07503> (8804), and every spirit <07307> shall faint <03543> (8765), and all knees <01290> shall be weak <03212> (8799) as water <04325>: behold, it cometh <0935> (8802), and shall be brought to pass <01961> (8738), saith <05002> (8803) the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>.
8 # Again the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> came unto me, saying <0559> (8800),
9 Son <01121> of man <0120>, prophesy <05012> (8734), and say <0559> (8804), Thus saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068>; Say <0559> (8798), A sword <02719>, a sword <02719> is sharpened <02300> (8717) , and also furbished <04803> (8803):
10 It is sharpened <02300> (8717) to make a sore <02874> slaughter <02873> (8800); it is furbished <04178> (8794) that it may glitter <01300>: should <0176> we then make mirth <07797> (8799)? it contemneth <03988> (8802) the rod <07626> of my son <01121>, as every tree <06086>.
11 And he hath given <05414> (8799) it to be furbished <04803> (8800), that it may be handled <03709> <08610> (8800): this sword <02719> is sharpened <02300> (8717), and it is furbished <04178> (8794), to give <05414> (8800) it into the hand <03027> of the slayer <02026> (8802).
12 Cry <02199> (8798) and howl <03213> (8685), son <01121> of man <0120>: for it shall be upon my people <05971>, it shall be upon all the princes <05387> of Israel <03478>: terrors <04048> (8803) by reason of <0413> the sword <02719> shall be upon my people <05971>: smite <05606> (8798) therefore upon thy thigh <03409>.
13 Because it is a trial <0974> (8795), and what if the sword contemn <03988> (8802) even the rod <07626> ? it shall be no more, saith <05002> (8803) the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>.
14 Thou therefore, son <01121> of man <0120>, prophesy <05012> (8734), and smite <05221> <00> thine hands <03709> <03709> together <05221> (8685), and let the sword <02719> be doubled <03717> (8735) the third <07992> time, the sword <02719> of the slain <02491>: it is the sword <02719> of the great <01419> men that are slain <02491>, which entereth into their privy chambers <02314> (8802).
15 I have set <05414> (8804) the point <019> of the sword <02719> against all their gates <08179>, that their heart <03820> may faint <04127> (8800), and their ruins <04383> be multiplied <07235> (8687): ah <0253> ! it is made <06213> (8803) bright <01300>, it is wrapped up <04593> for the slaughter <02874>.
16 Go thee one way or other <0258> (8690), either on <07760> (8685) the right hand <03231> (8685) , or on the left <08041> (8685), whithersoever <0575> thy face <06440> is set <03259> (8716).
17 I will also smite <05221> (8686) mine hands <03709> together <03709>, and I will cause my fury <02534> to rest <05117> (8689): I the LORD <03068> have said <01696> (8765) it.
18 # The word <01697> of the LORD <03068> came unto me again, saying <0559> (8800),
19 Also, thou son <01121> of man <0120>, appoint <07760> (8798) thee two <08147> ways <01870>, that the sword <02719> of the king <04428> of Babylon <0894> may come <0935> (8800): both twain <08147> shall come forth <03318> (8799) out of one <0259> land <0776>: and choose <01254> (8761) thou a place <03027>, choose <01254> (8761) it at the head <07218> of the way <01870> to the city <05892>.
20 Appoint <07760> (8799) a way <01870>, that the sword <02719> may come <0935> (8800) to Rabbath <07237> of the Ammonites <01121> <05983>, and to Judah <03063> in Jerusalem <03389> the defenced <01219> (8803).
21 For the king <04428> of Babylon <0894> stood <05975> (8804) at the parting <0517> of the way <01870> , at the head <07218> of the two <08147> ways <01870>, to use <07080> (8800) divination <07081>: he made his arrows <02671> bright <07043> (8773), he consulted <07592> (8804) with images <08655>, he looked <07200> (8804) in the liver <03516>.
22 At his right hand <03225> was the divination <07081> for Jerusalem <03389>, to appoint <07760> (8800) captains <03733>, to open <06605> (8800) the mouth <06310> in the slaughter <07524>, to lift up <07311> (8687) the voice <06963> with shouting <08643>, to appoint <07760> (8800) battering rams <03733> against the gates <08179>, to cast <08210> (8800) a mount <05550>, and to build <01129> (8800) a fort <01785>.
23 And it shall be unto them as a false <07723> divination <07080> (8800) in their sight <05869>, to them that have sworn <07650> (8803) oaths <07621>: but he will call to remembrance <02142> (8688) the iniquity <05771>, that they may be taken <08610> (8736).
24 Therefore thus saith <0559> (8804) the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; Because ye have made your iniquity <05771> to be remembered <02142> (8687), in that your transgressions <06588> are discovered <01540> (8736), so that in all your doings <05949> your sins <02403> do appear <07200> (8736); because, I say, that ye are come to remembrance <02142> (8736), ye shall be taken <08610> (8735) with the hand <03709>.
25 And thou, profane <02491> wicked <07563> prince <05387> of Israel <03478>, whose day <03117> is come <0935> (8804), when <06256> iniquity <05771> shall have an end <07093>,
26 Thus saith <0559> (8804) the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>; Remove <05493> (8685) the diadem <04701> , and take off <07311> (8685) the crown <05850>: this shall not be the same <02063>: exalt <01361> (8687) him that is low <08217>, and abase <08213> (8687) him that is high <01364>.
27 I will overturn <05754>, overturn <05754>, overturn <05754>, it: and it shall be <07760> (8799) no more , until he come <0935> (8800) whose right <04941> it is; and I will give <05414> (8804) it him.
28 # And thou, son <01121> of man <0120>, prophesy <05012> (8734) and say <0559> (8804), Thus saith <0559> (8804) the Lord <0136> GOD <03069> concerning the Ammonites <01121> <05983>, and concerning their reproach <02781> ; even say <0559> (8804) thou, The sword <02719>, the sword <02719> is drawn <06605> (8803): for the slaughter <02874> it is furbished <04803> (8803), to consume <0398> (8687) because of the glittering <01300>:
29 Whiles they see <02372> (8800) vanity <07723> unto thee, whiles they divine <07080> (8800) a lie <03577> unto thee, to bring <05414> (8800) thee upon the necks <06677> of them that are slain <02491>, of the wicked <07563>, whose day <03117> is come <0935> (8804), when <06256> their iniquity <05771> shall have an end <07093>.
30 Shall I cause it to return <07725> (8685) into his sheath <08593>? I will judge <08199> (8799) thee in the place <04725> where thou wast created <01254> (8738), in the land <0776> of thy nativity <04351>.
31 And I will pour out <08210> (8804) mine indignation <02195> upon thee, I will blow <06315> (8686) against thee in the fire <0784> of my wrath <05678>, and deliver <05414> (8804) thee into the hand <03027> of brutish <01197> (8802) men <0582>, and skilful <02796> to destroy <04889>.
32 Thou shalt be for fuel <0402> to the fire <0784>; thy blood <01818> shall be in the midst <08432> of the land <0776> ; thou shalt be no more remembered <02142> (8735): for I the LORD <03068> have spoken <01696> (8765) it.
