  • Ezek 21:1-9 : 1 Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying: 2 Son of man, turn your face toward the south, and speak against the south. Prophesy against the forest of the southern land, 3 and say to the southern forest, 'Listen to the word of the LORD. This is what the Sovereign LORD says: Behold, I am about to set you ablaze, and it will devour every green tree and every dry tree within you. The blazing flame will not be quenched, and every face from the south to the north will be scorched by it. 4 All human beings will see that I, the LORD, have ignited it, and it will not be put out. 5 Then I said, 'Alas, Sovereign LORD! They are saying of me, "Is he not just speaking in riddles?"' 6 Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying: 7 Son of man, set your face toward Jerusalem, preach against the holy places, and prophesy against the land of Israel. 8 Say to the land of Israel, 'This is what the LORD says: Behold, I am against you. I will draw My sword from its sheath and cut off from you both the righteous and the wicked. 9 Because I will cut off both the righteous and the wicked, My sword will go out from its sheath against all flesh, from the south to the north. 10 All humanity will know that I, the LORD, have drawn My sword from its sheath, and it will not return again. 11 And you, son of man, groan with the breaking of your heart and with bitterness. Sigh in their sight. 12 And when they ask you, 'Why are you groaning?' you are to say, 'Because of the news that is coming; every heart will melt, every hand will go weak, every spirit will grow faint, and every knee will turn to water. Behold, it is coming, and it will happen,' declares the Sovereign LORD. 13 Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying: 14 Son of man, prophesy and say, 'This is what the Lord GOD says: A sword! A sword, sharpened and also polished— 15 sharpened to slaughter, polished to flash like lightning! Should we rejoice in the scepter of My son, which despises every tree?' 16 He has given it to be polished, that it may be grasped in the hand; it is sharpened and polished to be placed in the hands of the slayer. 17 Cry out and wail, son of man, for it is against My people; it is against all the princes of Israel. They are delivered to the sword with My people. Therefore, strike your thigh in despair. 18 For testing is being done. What if even the scepter that despises authority will not continue? This is the declaration of the Sovereign LORD. 19 So you, son of man, prophesy and clap your hands together. Let the sword strike twice, even three times. It is a sword for slaughter, a sword of a great massacre that surrounds and penetrates them. 20 So that hearts melt, and many stumble at all their gates, I have placed a glittering sword. It is made to flash like lightning and is prepared for slaughter. 21 Unite yourself for the blow, turn to the right, and move to the left, whichever direction your edges are appointed. 22 I too will clap My hands, and I will satisfy My wrath. I, the LORD, have spoken. 23 Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying:
