EZE20.htm EZE22.htm21:1 And the word [H1697] of the LORD [H3068] came unto me, saying [H559] ,
21:2 Son [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] ,
21:3 And 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] .
21:4 Seeing [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] :
21:5 That 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.
21:6 Sigh [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] .
21:7 And 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] .(shall be weak: Heb. shall go into water)
21:8 Again the word [H1697] of the LORD [H3068] came unto me, saying [H559] ,
21:9 Son [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] :
21:10 It 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] .(it contemneth: or, it is the rod of my son, it despiseth every tree)
21:11 And 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] .
21:12 Cry [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] .(terrors: or, they are thrust down to the sword with my people)
21:13 Because [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] .(Because: or, When the trial hath been, what then? shall they not also belong to the despising rod?)
21:14 Thou 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] .(hands: Heb. hand to hand)
21:15 I 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] .(point: or, glittering, or, fear)(wrapped up: or, sharpened)
21:16 Go 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] .(or on: Heb. set thyself, take the left hand)
21:17 I 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].
21:18 The word [H1697] of the LORD [H3068] came unto me again, saying [H559] ,
21:19 Also, 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] .
21:20 Appoint [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] .
21:21 For 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] .(parting of: Heb. mother of)(arrows: or, knives)(images: Heb. teraphim)
21:22 At 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] .(captains: or, battering rams: Heb. rams)
21:23 And 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] .(to them: or, for the oaths made unto them)
21:24 Therefore 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] .
21:25 And 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] ,
21:26 Thus 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] .
21:27 I 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].(I will overturn: Heb. Perverted, perverted, perverted, will I make it)
21:28 And 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] :
21:29 Whiles 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] .
21:30 Shall 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] .(Shall: or, Cause it to return)
21:31 And 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] .(brutish: or, burning)
21:32 Thou 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].
