And the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto me, sayingH559,
SonH1121 of manH120, setH7760 thy faceH6440 toward JerusalemH3389, and dropH5197 thy word toward the holy placesH4720, and prophesyH5012 against the landH127 of IsraelH3478,
And sayH559 to the landH127 of IsraelH3478, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; Behold, I am against thee, and will draw forthH3318 my swordH2719 out of his sheathH8593, and will cut offH3772 from thee the righteousH6662 and the wickedH7563.
SeeingH3282 then that I will cut offH3772 from thee the righteousH6662 and the wickedH7563, therefore shall my swordH2719 go forthH3318 out of his sheathH8593 against all fleshH1320 from the southH5045 to the northH6828:
That all fleshH1320 may knowH3045 that I the LORDH3068 have drawn forthH3318 my swordH2719 out of his sheathH8593: it shall not returnH7725 any more.
SighH584 therefore, thou sonH1121 of manH120, with the breakingH7670 of thy loinsH4975; and with bitternessH4814 sighH584 before their eyesH5869.
And it shall be, when they sayH559 unto thee, Wherefore sighestH584 thou? that thou shalt answerH559, For the tidingsH8052; because it comethH935: and every heartH3820 shall meltH4549, and all handsH3027 shall be feebleH7503, and every spiritH7307 shall faintH3543, and all kneesH1290 shall be weakH3212 as waterH4325: behold, it comethH935, and shall be brought to passH1961, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069. {shall be weak…: Heb. shall go into water}
Again the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto me, sayingH559,
SonH1121 of manH120, prophesyH5012, and sayH559, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; SayH559, A swordH2719, a swordH2719 is sharpenedH2300, and also furbishedH4803:
It is sharpenedH2300 to make a soreH2874 slaughterH2873; it is furbishedH4178 that it may glitterH1300: shouldH176 we then make mirthH7797? it contemnethH3988 the rodH7626 of my sonH1121, as every treeH6086. {it contemneth…: or, it is the rod of my son, it despiseth every tree}
And he hath givenH5414 it to be furbishedH4803, that it may be handledH3709+H8610: this swordH2719 is sharpenedH2300, and it is furbishedH4178, to giveH5414 it into the handH3027 of the slayerH2026.
CryH2199 and howlH3213, sonH1121 of manH120: for it shall be upon my peopleH5971, it shall be upon all the princesH5387 of IsraelH3478: terrorsH4048 by reason ofH413 the swordH2719 shall be upon my peopleH5971: smiteH5606 therefore upon thy thighH3409. {terrors…: or, they are thrust down to the sword with my people}
Because it is a trialH974, and what if the sword contemnH3988 even the rodH7626? it shall be no more, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069. {Because…: or, When the trial hath been, what then? shall they not also belong to the despising rod?}
Thou therefore, sonH1121 of manH120, prophesyH5012, and smiteH5221 thine handsH3709+H3709 togetherH5221, and let the swordH2719 be doubledH3717 the thirdH7992 time, the swordH2719 of the slainH2491: it is the swordH2719 of the greatH1419 men that are slainH2491, which entereth into their privy chambersH2314. {hands…: Heb. hand to hand}
I have setH5414 the pointH19 of the swordH2719 against all their gatesH8179, that their heartH3820 may faintH4127, and their ruinsH4383 be multipliedH7235: ahH253! it is madeH6213 brightH1300, it is wrapped upH4593 for the slaughterH2874. {point: or, glittering, or, fear} {wrapped up: or, sharpened}
Go thee one way or otherH258, either onH7760 the right handH3231, or on the leftH8041, whithersoeverH575 thy faceH6440 is setH3259. {or on…: Heb. set thyself, take the left hand}
I will also smiteH5221 mine handsH3709 togetherH3709, and I will cause my furyH2534 to restH5117: I the LORDH3068 have saidH1696 it.
The wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto me again, sayingH559,
Also, thou sonH1121 of manH120, appointH7760 thee twoH8147 waysH1870, that the swordH2719 of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 may comeH935: both twainH8147 shall come forthH3318 out of oneH259 landH776: and chooseH1254 thou a placeH3027, chooseH1254 it at the headH7218 of the wayH1870 to the cityH5892.
AppointH7760 a wayH1870, that the swordH2719 may comeH935 to RabbathH7237 of the AmmonitesH1121+H5983, and to JudahH3063 in JerusalemH3389 the defencedH1219.
For the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 stoodH5975 at the partingH517 of the wayH1870, at the headH7218 of the twoH8147 waysH1870, to useH7080 divinationH7081: he made his arrowsH2671 brightH7043, he consultedH7592 with imagesH8655, he lookedH7200 in the liverH3516. {parting of: Heb. mother of} {arrows: or, knives} {images: Heb. teraphim}
At his right handH3225 was the divinationH7081 for JerusalemH3389, to appointH7760 captainsH3733, to openH6605 the mouthH6310 in the slaughterH7524, to lift upH7311 the voiceH6963 with shoutingH8643, to appointH7760 battering ramsH3733 against the gatesH8179, to castH8210 a mountH5550, and to buildH1129 a fortH1785. {captains: or, battering rams: Heb. rams}
And it shall be unto them as a falseH7723 divinationH7080 in their sightH5869, to them that have swornH7650 oathsH7621: but he will call to remembranceH2142 the iniquityH5771, that they may be takenH8610. {to them…: or, for the oaths made unto them}
Therefore thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Because ye have made your iniquityH5771 to be rememberedH2142, in that your transgressionsH6588 are discoveredH1540, so that in all your doingsH5949 your sinsH2403 do appearH7200; because, I say, that ye are come to remembranceH2142, ye shall be takenH8610 with the handH3709.
And thou, profaneH2491 wickedH7563 princeH5387 of IsraelH3478, whose dayH3117 is comeH935, whenH6256 iniquityH5771 shall have an endH7093,
Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; RemoveH5493 the diademH4701, and take offH7311 the crownH5850: this shall not be the sameH2063: exaltH1361 him that is lowH8217, and abaseH8213 him that is highH1364.
I will overturnH5754, overturnH5754, overturnH5754, it: and it shall beH7760 no more, until he comeH935 whose rightH4941 it is; and I will giveH5414 it him. {I will overturn…: Heb. Perverted, perverted, perverted, will I make it}
And thou, sonH1121 of manH120, prophesyH5012 and sayH559, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069 concerning the AmmonitesH1121+H5983, and concerning their reproachH2781; even sayH559 thou, The swordH2719, the swordH2719 is drawnH6605: for the slaughterH2874 it is furbishedH4803, to consumeH398 because of the glitteringH1300:
Whiles they seeH2372 vanityH7723 unto thee, whiles they divineH7080 a lieH3577 unto thee, to bringH5414 thee upon the necksH6677 of them that are slainH2491, of the wickedH7563, whose dayH3117 is comeH935, whenH6256 their iniquityH5771 shall have an endH7093.
Shall I cause it to returnH7725 into his sheathH8593? I will judgeH8199 thee in the placeH4725 where thou wast createdH1254, in the landH776 of thy nativityH4351. {Shall…: or, Cause it to return}
And I will pour outH8210 mine indignationH2195 upon thee, I will blowH6315 against thee in the fireH784 of my wrathH5678, and deliverH5414 thee into the handH3027 of brutishH1197 menH582, and skilfulH2796 to destroyH4889. {brutish: or, burning}
Thou shalt be for fuelH402 to the fireH784; thy bloodH1818 shall be in the midstH8432 of the landH776; thou shalt be no more rememberedH2142: for I the LORDH3068 have spokenH1696 it.

Therefore thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Behold, I, even I, am against thee, and will executeH6213 judgmentsH4941 in the midstH8432 of thee in the sightH5869 of the nationsH1471.
SonH1121 of manH120, prophesyH5012, and sayH559, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; SayH559, A swordH2719, a swordH2719 is sharpenedH2300, and also furbishedH4803:
It is sharpenedH2300 to make a soreH2874 slaughterH2873; it is furbishedH4178 that it may glitterH1300: shouldH176 we then make mirthH7797? it contemnethH3988 the rodH7626 of my sonH1121, as every treeH6086. {it contemneth…: or, it is the rod of my son, it despiseth every tree}
And he hath givenH5414 it to be furbishedH4803, that it may be handledH3709+H8610: this swordH2719 is sharpenedH2300, and it is furbishedH4178, to giveH5414 it into the handH3027 of the slayerH2026.
And to the othersH428 he saidH559 in mine hearingH241, GoH5674 ye afterH310 him through the cityH5892, and smiteH5221: let not your eyeH5869 spareH2347, neither have ye pityH2550: {mine hearing: Heb. mine ears}
Therefore thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Behold, I am against thee, O TyrusH6865, and will cause manyH7227 nationsH1471 to come upH5927 against thee, as the seaH3220 causeth his wavesH1530 to come upH5927.
Also, thou sonH1121 of manH120, appointH7760 thee twoH8147 waysH1870, that the swordH2719 of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 may comeH935: both twainH8147 shall come forthH3318 out of oneH259 landH776: and chooseH1254 thou a placeH3027, chooseH1254 it at the headH7218 of the wayH1870 to the cityH5892.
SlayH2026 utterlyH4889 oldH2205 and youngH970, both maidsH1330, and little childrenH2945, and womenH802: but come not nearH5066 any manH376 upon whom is the markH8420; and beginH2490 at my sanctuaryH4720. Then they beganH2490 at the ancientH2205 menH582 which were beforeH6440 the houseH1004. {utterly: Heb. to destruction}
Behold, I am against thee, O inhabitantH3427 of the valleyH6010, and rockH6697 of the plainH4334, saithH5002 the LORDH3068; which sayH559, Who shall come downH5181 against us? or who shall enterH935 into our habitationsH4585? {inhabitant: Heb. inhabitress}
A third partH7992 of thee shall dieH4191 with the pestilenceH1698, and with famineH7458 shall they be consumedH3615 in the midstH8432 of thee: and a third partH7992 shall fallH5307 by the swordH2719 round aboutH5439 thee; and I will scatterH2219 a third partH7992 into all the windsH7307, and I will draw outH7324 a swordH2719 afterH310 them.
This is oneH259 thing, therefore I saidH559 it, He destroyethH3615 the perfectH8535 and the wickedH7563.
Behold, I am against thee, O thou most proudH2087, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069 of hostsH6635: for thy dayH3117 is comeH935, the timeH6256 that I will visitH6485 thee. {most…: Heb. pride}
Or if I bringH935 a swordH2719 upon that landH776, and sayH559, SwordH2719, go throughH5674 the landH776; so that I cut offH3772 manH120 and beastH929 from it:
All things come alike to all: there is oneH259 eventH4745 to the righteousH6662, and to the wickedH7563; to the goodH2896 and to the cleanH2889, and to the uncleanH2931; to him that sacrificethH2076, and to him thatH834 sacrificethH2076 not: as is the goodH2896, so is the sinnerH2398; and he that swearethH7650, as he that fearethH3373 an oathH7621.
Behold, I am against thee, O destroyingH4889 mountainH2022, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, which destroyestH7843 all the earthH776: and I will stretch outH5186 mine handH3027 upon thee, and roll thee downH1556 from the rocksH5553, and will makeH5414 thee a burntH8316 mountainH2022.
For thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; How much more when I sendH7971 my fourH702 soreH7451 judgmentsH8201 upon JerusalemH3389, the swordH2719, and the famineH7458, and the noisomeH7451 beastH2416, and the pestilenceH1698, to cut offH3772 from it manH120 and beastH929? {How…: or, Also when}
And it shall come to pass, if they sayH559 unto thee, Whither shall we go forthH3318? then thou shalt tellH559 them, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; Such as are for deathH4194, to deathH4194; and such as are for the swordH2719, to the swordH2719; and such as are for the famineH7458, to the famineH7458; and such as are for the captivityH7628, to the captivityH7628.
And I will appointH6485 over them fourH702 kindsH4940, saithH5002 the LORDH3068: the swordH2719 to slayH2026, and the dogsH3611 to tearH5498, and the fowlsH5775 of the heavenH8064, and the beastsH929 of the earthH776, to devourH398 and destroyH7843. {kinds: Heb. families}
And I will causeH5414 them to be removedH2189+H2113 into all kingdomsH4467 of the earthH776, becauseH1558 of ManassehH4519 the sonH1121 of HezekiahH3169 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, for that which he didH6213 in JerusalemH3389. {cause…: Heb. give them for a removing}
Behold, I am against thee, saithH5002 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, and I will burnH1197 her chariotsH7393 in the smokeH6227, and the swordH2719 shall devourH398 thy young lionsH3715: and I will cut offH3772 thy preyH2964 from the earthH776, and the voiceH6963 of thy messengersH4397 shall no more be heardH8085.
The enemyH341 saidH559, I will pursueH7291, I will overtakeH5381, I will divideH2505 the spoilH7998; my lustH5315 shall be satisfiedH4390 upon them; I will drawH7324 my swordH2719, my handH3027 shall destroyH3423 them. {destroy: or, repossess}
Behold, I am against thee, saithH5002 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; and I will discoverH1540 thy skirtsH7757 upon thy faceH6440, and I will shewH7200 the nationsH1471 thy nakednessH4626, and the kingdomsH4467 thy shameH7036.
And I will bringH935 a swordH2719 upon you, that shall avengeH5358 the quarrelH5359 of my covenantH1285: and when ye are gathered togetherH622 withinH413 your citiesH5892, I will sendH7971 the pestilenceH1698 amongH8432 you; and ye shall be deliveredH5414 into the handH3027 of the enemyH341.
And I will scatterH2219 you among the heathenH1471, and will draw outH7324 a swordH2719 afterH310 you: and your landH776 shall be desolateH8077, and your citiesH5892 wasteH2723.
If I whetH8150 my glitteringH1300 swordH2719, and mine handH3027 take holdH270 on judgmentH4941; I will renderH7725 vengeanceH5359 to mine enemiesH6862, and will rewardH7999 them that hateH8130 me.
I will make mine arrowsH2671 drunkH7937 with bloodH1818, and my swordH2719 shall devourH398 fleshH1320; and that with the bloodH1818 of the slainH2491 and of the captivesH7633, from the beginningH7218 of revengesH6546 upon the enemyH341.
AriseH6965, O LORDH3068, disappointH6923 himH6440, cast him downH3766: deliverH6403 my soulH5315 from the wickedH7563, which is thy swordH2719: {disappoint…: Heb. prevent his face} {which is: or, by}
OH1945 AssyrianH804, the rodH7626 of mine angerH639, and the staffH4294 in their handH3027 is mine indignationH2195. {O…: or, Woe to the Assyrian: Heb. Asshur} {and: or, though}
For my swordH2719 shall be bathedH7301 in heavenH8064: behold, it shall come downH3381 upon IdumeaH123, and upon the peopleH5971 of my curseH2764, to judgmentH4941.
OH1945 thou swordH2719 of the LORDH3068, how long will it be ereH3808 thou be quietH8252? put upH622 thyself into thy scabbardH8593, restH7280, and be stillH1826. {put…: Heb. gather thyself}
How can it be quietH8252, seeing the LORDH3068 hath given it a chargeH6680 against AshkelonH831, and against the seaH3220 shoreH2348? there hath he appointedH3259 it. {How…: Heb. How canst thou}
