Ezekiel 21:1-28

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}

21:16

Go thee one way or other
<0258> (8690)_,

[either] on
<07760> (8685)

the right hand
<03231> (8685)_,

[or] on the left
<08041> (8685)_,

whithersoever
<0575>

thy face
<06440>

[is] set
<03259> (8716)_.

{or on...: Heb. set thyself, take the left hand}

21:17

I will also smite
<05221> (8686)

mine hands
<03709>

together
<03709>_,

and I will cause my fury
<02534>

to rest
<05117> (8689)_:

I the LORD
<03068>

have said
<01696> (8765)

[it].

21:18

The word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>

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

21:19

Also, thou son
<01121>

of man
<0120>_,

appoint
<07760> (8798)

thee two
<08147>

ways
<01870>_,

that the sword
<02719>

of the king
<04428>

of Babylon
<0894>

may come
<0935> (8800)_:

both twain
<08147>

shall come forth
<03318> (8799)

out of one
<0259>

land
<0776>_:

and choose
<01254> (8761)

thou a place
<03027>_,

choose
<01254> (8761)

[it] at the head
<07218>

of the way
<01870>

to the city
<05892>_.

21:20

Appoint
<07760> (8799)

a way
<01870>_,

that the sword
<02719>

may come
<0935> (8800)

to Rabbath
<07237>

of the Ammonites
<01121> <05983>_,

and to Judah
<03063>

in Jerusalem
<03389>

the defenced
<01219> (8803)_.

21:21

For the king
<04428>

of Babylon
<0894>

stood
<05975> (8804)

at the parting
<0517>

of the way
<01870>_,

at the head
<07218>

of the two
<08147>

ways
<01870>_,

to use
<07080> (8800)

divination
<07081>_:

he made [his] arrows
<02671>

bright
<07043> (8773)_,

he consulted
<07592> (8804)

with images
<08655>_,

he looked
<07200> (8804)

in the liver
<03516>_.

{parting of: Heb. mother of} {arrows: or, knives} {images: Heb. teraphim}

21:22

At his right hand
<03225>

was the divination
<07081>

for Jerusalem
<03389>_,

to appoint
<07760> (8800)

captains
<03733>_,

to open
<06605> (8800)

the mouth
<06310>

in the slaughter
<07524>_,

to lift up
<07311> (8687)

the voice
<06963>

with shouting
<08643>_,

to appoint
<07760> (8800)

[battering] rams
<03733>

against the gates
<08179>_,

to cast
<08210> (8800)

a mount
<05550>_,

[and] to build
<01129> (8800)

a fort
<01785>_.

{captains: or, battering rams: Heb. rams}

21:23

And it shall be unto them as a false
<07723>

divination
<07080> (8800)

in their sight
<05869>_,

to them that have sworn
<07650> (8803)

oaths
<07621>_:

but he will call to remembrance
<02142> (8688)

the iniquity
<05771>_,

that they may be taken
<08610> (8736)_.

{to them...: or, for the oaths made unto them}

21:24

Therefore thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>_;

Because ye have made your iniquity
<05771>

to be remembered
<02142> (8687)_,

in that your transgressions
<06588>

are discovered
<01540> (8736)_,

so that in all your doings
<05949>

your sins
<02403>

do appear
<07200> (8736)_;

because, [I say], that ye are come to remembrance
<02142> (8736)_,

ye shall be taken
<08610> (8735)

with the hand
<03709>_.

21:25

And thou, profane
<02491>

wicked
<07563>

prince
<05387>

of Israel
<03478>_,

whose day
<03117>

is come
<0935> (8804)_,

when
<06256>

iniquity
<05771>

[shall have] an end
<07093>_,

21:26

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>_;

Remove
<05493> (8685)

the diadem
<04701>_,

and take off
<07311> (8685)

the crown
<05850>_:

this [shall] not [be] the same
<02063>_:

exalt
<01361> (8687)

[him that is] low
<08217>_,

and abase
<08213> (8687)

[him that is] high
<01364>_.

21:27

I will overturn
<05754>_,

overturn
<05754>_,

it: and it shall be
<07760> (8799)

no [more], until he come
<0935> (8800)

whose right
<04941>

it is; and I will give
<05414> (8804)

it [him]. {I will overturn...: Heb. Perverted, perverted, perverted, will I make it}

21:28

And thou, son
<01121>

of man
<0120>_,

prophesy
<05012> (8734)

and say
<0559> (8804)_,

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>

concerning the Ammonites
<01121> <05983>_,

and concerning their reproach
<02781>_;

even say
<0559> (8804)

thou, The sword
<02719>_,

the sword
<02719>

[is] drawn
<06605> (8803)_:

for the slaughter
<02874>

[it is] furbished
<04803> (8803)_,

to consume
<0398> (8687)

because of the glittering
<01300>_:
