The Sword of Judgment
21:1 The word of the Lord came to me:
21:2 “Son of man , turn toward Jerusalem and speak out against the sanctuaries . Prophesy against the land of Israel
21:3 and say to them , ‘This is what the Lord says : Look , I am against you. I will draw my sword from its sheath and cut off from you both the righteous and the wicked .
21:4 Because I will cut off from you both the righteous and the wicked , my sword will go out from its sheath against everyone from the south to the north .
21:5 Then everyone will know that I am the Lord , who drew my sword from its sheath – it will not be sheathed again !’
