Ezekiel 21:1-5 ▼

1 The word of the LORD came to me again:”

2 Son of man, turn your face toward Jerusalem and preach against the sanctuaries. Prophesy against the land of Israel,

3 and say to it: This is what the LORD says: I am against you. I will draw My sword from its sheath and cut off both the righteous and the wicked from you.

4 Since I will cut off both the righteous and the wicked, My sword will therefore come out of its sheath against everyone from the south to the north.

5 So all the people will know that I, Yahweh, have taken My sword from its sheath—it will not be sheathed again.”
