Ezekiel 21:1-15

21:1

And the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>

came unto me, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

21:2

Son
<01121>

of man
<0120>_,

set
<07760> (8798)

thy face
<06440>

toward Jerusalem
<03389>_,

and drop
<05197> (8685)

[thy word] toward the holy places
<04720>_,

and prophesy
<05012> (8734)

against the land
<0127>

of Israel
<03478>_,

21:3

And say
<0559> (8804)

to the land
<0127>

of Israel
<03478>_,

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_;

Behold, I [am] against thee, and will draw forth
<03318> (8689)

my sword
<02719>

out of his sheath
<08593>_,

and will cut off
<03772> (8689)

from thee the righteous
<06662>

and the wicked
<07563>_.

21:4

Seeing
<03282>

then that I will cut off
<03772> (8689)

from thee the righteous
<06662>

and the wicked
<07563>_,

therefore shall my sword
<02719>

go forth
<03318> (8799)

out of his sheath
<08593>

against all flesh
<01320>

from the south
<05045>

to the north
<06828>_:

21:5

That all flesh
<01320>

may know
<03045> (8804)

that I the LORD
<03068>

have drawn forth
<03318> (8689)

my sword
<02719>

out of his sheath
<08593>_:

it shall not return
<07725> (8799)

any more.

21:6

Sigh
<0584> (8734)

therefore, thou son
<01121>

of man
<0120>_,

with the breaking
<07670>

of [thy] loins
<04975>_;

and with bitterness
<04814>

sigh
<0584> (8735)

before their eyes
<05869>_.

21:7

And it shall be, when they say
<0559> (8799)

unto thee, Wherefore sighest
<0584> (8737)

thou? that thou shalt answer
<0559> (8804)_,

For the tidings
<08052>_;

because it cometh
<0935> (8802)_:

and every heart
<03820>

shall melt
<04549> (8738)_,

and all hands
<03027>

shall be feeble
<07503> (8804)_,

and every spirit
<07307>

shall faint
<03543> (8765)_,

and all knees
<01290>

shall be weak
<03212> (8799)

[as] water
<04325>_:

behold, it cometh
<0935> (8802)_,

and shall be brought to pass
<01961> (8738)_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>_.

{shall be weak...: Heb. shall go into water}

21:8

Again the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>

came unto me, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

21:9

Son
<01121>

of man
<0120>_,

prophesy
<05012> (8734)_,

and say
<0559> (8804)_,

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_;

Say
<0559> (8798)_,

A sword
<02719>_,

a sword
<02719>

is sharpened
<02300> (8717)_,

and also furbished
<04803> (8803)_:

21:10

It is sharpened
<02300> (8717)

to make a sore
<02874>

slaughter
<02873> (8800)_;

it is furbished
<04178> (8794)

that it may glitter
<01300>_:

should
<0176>

we then make mirth
<07797> (8799)_?

it contemneth
<03988> (8802)

the rod
<07626>

of my son
<01121>_,

[as] every tree
<06086>_.

{it contemneth...: or, it is the rod of my son, it despiseth every tree}

21:11

And he hath given
<05414> (8799)

it to be furbished
<04803> (8800)_,

that it may be handled
<03709> <08610> (8800)_:

this sword
<02719>

is sharpened
<02300> (8717)_,

and it is furbished
<04178> (8794)_,

to give
<05414> (8800)

it into the hand
<03027>

of the slayer
<02026> (8802)_.

21:12

Cry
<02199> (8798)

and howl
<03213> (8685)_,

son
<01121>

of man
<0120>_:

for it shall be upon my people
<05971>_,

it [shall be] upon all the princes
<05387>

of Israel
<03478>_:

terrors
<04048> (8803)

by reason of
<0413>

the sword
<02719>

shall be upon my people
<05971>_:

smite
<05606> (8798)

therefore upon [thy] thigh
<03409>_.

{terrors...: or, they are thrust down to the sword with my people}

21:13

Because [it is] a trial
<0974> (8795)_,

and what if [the sword] contemn
<03988> (8802)

even the rod
<07626>_?

it shall be no [more], saith
<05002> (8803)

the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>_.

{Because...: or, When the trial hath been, what then? shall they not also belong to the despising rod?}

21:14

Thou therefore, son
<01121>

of man
<0120>_,

prophesy
<05012> (8734)_,

and smite
<05221> (0)

[thine] hands
<03709> <03709>

together
<05221> (8685)_,

and let the sword
<02719>

be doubled
<03717> (8735)

the third
<07992>

time, the sword
<02719>

of the slain
<02491>_:

it [is] the sword
<02719>

of the great
<01419>

[men that are] slain
<02491>_,

which entereth into their privy chambers
<02314> (8802)_.

{hands...: Heb. hand to hand}

21:15

I have set
<05414> (8804)

the point
<019>

of the sword
<02719>

against all their gates
<08179>_,

that [their] heart
<03820>

may faint
<04127> (8800)_,

and [their] ruins
<04383>

be multiplied
<07235> (8687)_:

ah
<0253>_!

[it is] made
<06213> (8803)

bright
<01300>_,

[it is] wrapped up
<04593>

for the slaughter
<02874>_.

{point: or, glittering, or, fear} {wrapped up: or, sharpened}
