Ezekiel 21:21-32

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>_:

21:29

Whiles they see
<02372> (8800)

vanity
<07723>

unto thee, whiles they divine
<07080> (8800)

a lie
<03577>

unto thee, to bring
<05414> (8800)

thee upon the necks
<06677>

of [them that are] slain
<02491>_,

of the wicked
<07563>_,

whose day
<03117>

is come
<0935> (8804)_,

when
<06256>

their iniquity
<05771>

[shall have] an end
<07093>_.

21:30

Shall I cause [it] to return
<07725> (8685)

into his sheath
<08593>_?

I will judge
<08199> (8799)

thee in the place
<04725>

where thou wast created
<01254> (8738)_,

in the land
<0776>

of thy nativity
<04351>_.

{Shall...: or, Cause it to return}

21:31

And I will pour out
<08210> (8804)

mine indignation
<02195>

upon thee, I will blow
<06315> (8686)

against thee in the fire
<0784>

of my wrath
<05678>_,

and deliver
<05414> (8804)

thee into the hand
<03027>

of brutish
<01197> (8802)

men
<0582>_,

[and] skilful
<02796>

to destroy
<04889>_.

{brutish: or, burning}

21:32

Thou shalt be for fuel
<0402>

to the fire
<0784>_;

thy blood
<01818>

shall be in the midst
<08432>

of the land
<0776>_;

thou shalt be no [more] remembered
<02142> (8735)_:

for I the LORD
<03068>

have spoken
<01696> (8765)

[it].
