1 And the word 1697 of the LORD 3068 came unto me, saying 559,
2 Son 1121 of man 120, set 7760 thy face 6440 toward Jerusalem 3389, and drop 5197 thy word toward the holy places 4720, and prophesy 5012 against the land 127 of Israel 3478,
3 And say 559 to the land 127 of Israel 3478, Thus saith 559 the LORD 3068; Behold, I am against thee, and will draw forth 3318 my sword 2719 out of his sheath 8593, and will cut off 3772 from thee the righteous 6662 and the wicked 7563.
4 Seeing 3282 then that I will cut off 3772 from thee the righteous 6662 and the wicked 7563, therefore shall my sword 2719 go forth 3318 out of his sheath 8593 against all flesh 1320 from the south 5045 to the north 6828:
5 That all flesh 1320 may know 3045 that I the LORD 3068 have drawn forth 3318 my sword 2719 out of his sheath 8593: it shall not return 7725 any more.
6 Sigh 584 therefore, thou son 1121 of man 120, with the breaking 7670 of thy loins 4975; and with bitterness 4814 sigh 584 before their eyes 5869.
7 And it shall be, when they say 559 unto thee, Wherefore sighest 584 thou? that thou shalt answer 559, For the tidings 8052; because it cometh 935: and every heart 3820 shall melt 4549, and all hands 3027 shall be feeble 7503, and every spirit 7307 shall faint 3543, and all knees 1290 shall be weak 3212 as water 4325: behold, it cometh 935, and shall be brought to pass 1961, saith 5002 the Lord 136 GOD 3069.
8 Again the word 1697 of the LORD 3068 came unto me, saying 559,
9 Son 1121 of man 120, prophesy 5012, and say 559, Thus saith 559 the LORD 3068; Say 559, A sword 2719, a sword 2719 is sharpened 2300, and also furbished 4803:
10 It is sharpened 2300 to make a sore 2874 slaughter 2873; it is furbished 4178 that it may glitter 1300: should 176 we then make mirth 7797? it contemneth 3988 the rod 7626 of my son 1121, as every tree 6086.
11 And he hath given 5414 it to be furbished 4803, that it may be handled 3709 8610: this sword 2719 is sharpened 2300, and it is furbished 4178, to give 5414 it into the hand 3027 of the slayer 2026.
12 Cry 2199 and howl 3213, son 1121 of man 120: for it shall be upon my people 5971, it shall be upon all the princes 5387 of Israel 3478: terrors 4048 by reason of 413 the sword 2719 shall be upon my people 5971: smite 5606 therefore upon thy thigh 3409.
13 Because it is a trial 974, and what if the sword contemn 3988 even the rod 7626? it shall be no more, saith 5002 the Lord 136 GOD 3069.
14 Thou therefore, son 1121 of man 120, prophesy 5012, and smite 5221 0 thine hands 3709 together 5221, and let the sword 2719 be doubled 3717 the third 7992 time, the sword 2719 of the slain 2491: it is the sword 2719 of the great 1419 men that are slain 2491, which entereth into their privy chambers 2314.
15 I have set 5414 the point 19 of the sword 2719 against all their gates 8179, that their heart 3820 may faint 4127, and their ruins 4383 be multiplied 7235: ah 253! it is made 6213 bright 1300, it is wrapped up 4593 for the slaughter 2874.
16 Go thee one way or other 258, either on 7760 the right hand 3231, or on the left 8041, whithersoever 575 thy face 6440 is set 3259.
17 I will also smite 5221 mine hands 3709 together 3709, and I will cause my fury 2534 to rest 5117: I the LORD 3068 have said 1696 it.
18 The word 1697 of the LORD 3068 came unto me again, saying 559,
19 Also, thou son 1121 of man 120, appoint 7760 thee two 8147 ways 1870, that the sword 2719 of the king 4428 of Babylon 894 may come 935: both twain 8147 shall come forth 3318 out of one 259 land 776: and choose 1254 thou a place 3027, choose 1254 it at the head 7218 of the way 1870 to the city 5892.
20 Appoint 7760 a way 1870, that the sword 2719 may come 935 to Rabbath 7237 of the Ammonites 1121 5983, and to Judah 3063 in Jerusalem 3389 the defenced 1219.
21 For the king 4428 of Babylon 894 stood 5975 at the parting 517 of the way 1870, at the head 7218 of the two 8147 ways 1870, to use 7080 divination 7081: he made his arrows 2671 bright 7043, he consulted 7592 with images 8655, he looked 7200 in the liver 3516.
22 At his right hand 3225 was the divination 7081 for Jerusalem 3389, to appoint 7760 captains 3733, to open 6605 the mouth 6310 in the slaughter 7524, to lift up 7311 the voice 6963 with shouting 8643, to appoint 7760 battering rams 3733 against the gates 8179, to cast 8210 a mount 5550, and to build 1129 a fort 1785.
23 And it shall be unto them as a false 7723 divination 7080 in their sight 5869, to them that have sworn 7650 oaths 7621: but he will call to remembrance 2142 the iniquity 5771, that they may be taken 8610.
24 Therefore thus saith 559 the Lord 136 GOD 3069; Because ye have made your iniquity 5771 to be remembered 2142, in that your transgressions 6588 are discovered 1540, so that in all your doings 5949 your sins 2403 do appear 7200; because, I say, that ye are come to remembrance 2142, ye shall be taken 8610 with the hand 3709.
25 And thou, profane 2491 wicked 7563 prince 5387 of Israel 3478, whose day 3117 is come 935, when 6256 iniquity 5771 shall have an end 7093,
26 Thus saith 559 the Lord 136 GOD 3069; Remove 5493 the diadem 4701, and take off 7311 the crown 5850: this shall not be the same 2063: exalt 1361 him that is low 8217, and abase 8213 him that is high 1364.
27 I will overturn 5754, overturn 5754, overturn 5754, it: and it shall be 7760 no more, until he come 935 whose right 4941 it is; and I will give 5414 it him.
28 And thou, son 1121 of man 120, prophesy 5012 and say 559, Thus saith 559 the Lord 136 GOD 3069 concerning the Ammonites 1121 5983, and concerning their reproach 2781; even say 559 thou, The sword 2719, the sword 2719 is drawn 6605: for the slaughter 2874 it is furbished 4803, to consume 398 because of the glittering 1300:
29 Whiles they see 2372 vanity 7723 unto thee, whiles they divine 7080 a lie 3577 unto thee, to bring 5414 thee upon the necks 6677 of them that are slain 2491, of the wicked 7563, whose day 3117 is come 935, when 6256 their iniquity 5771 shall have an end 7093.
30 Shall I cause it to return 7725 into his sheath 8593? I will judge 8199 thee in the place 4725 where thou wast created 1254, in the land 776 of thy nativity 4351.
31 And I will pour out 8210 mine indignation 2195 upon thee, I will blow 6315 against thee in the fire 784 of my wrath 5678, and deliver 5414 thee into the hand 3027 of brutish 1197 men 582, and skilful 2796 to destroy 4889.
32 Thou shalt be for fuel 402 to the fire 784; thy blood 1818 shall be in the midst 8432 of the land 776; thou shalt be no more remembered 2142: for I the LORD 3068 have spoken 1696 it.
