21:1 And the word 1697 of the LORD 3068 came unto me, saying 559 8800,

21:2 Son 1121 of man 120, set 7760 8798 thy face 6440 toward Jerusalem 3389, and drop 5197 8685 [thy word] toward the holy places 4720, and prophesy 5012 8734 against the land 127 of Israel 3478,

21:3 And say 559 8804 to the land 127 of Israel 3478, Thus saith 559 8804 the LORD 3068; Behold, I [am] against thee, and will draw forth 3318 8689 my sword 2719 out of his sheath 8593, and will cut off 3772 8689 from thee the righteous 6662 and the wicked 7563.

21:4 Seeing 3282 then that I will cut off 3772 8689 from thee the righteous 6662 and the wicked 7563, therefore shall my sword 2719 go forth 3318 8799 out of his sheath 8593 against all flesh 1320 from the south 5045 to the north 6828:

21:5 That all flesh 1320 may know 3045 8804 that I the LORD 3068 have drawn forth 3318 8689 my sword 2719 out of his sheath 8593: it shall not return 7725 8799 any more.

21:6 Sigh 584 8734 therefore, thou son 1121 of man 120, with the breaking 7670 of [thy] loins 4975; and with bitterness 4814 sigh 584 8735 before their eyes 5869.

21:7 And it shall be, when they say 559 8799 unto thee, Wherefore sighest 584 8737 thou? that thou shalt answer 559 8804, For the tidings 8052; because it cometh 935 8802: and every heart 3820 shall melt 4549 8738, and all hands 3027 shall be feeble 7503 8804, and every spirit 7307 shall faint 3543 8765, and all knees 1290 shall be weak 3212 8799 [as] water 4325: behold, it cometh 935 8802, and shall be brought to pass 1961 8738, saith 5002 8803 the Lord 136 GOD 3069.(shall be weak…: Heb. shall go into water)

21:8 Again the word 1697 of the LORD 3068 came unto me, saying 559 8800,

21:9 Son 1121 of man 120, prophesy 5012 8734, and say 559 8804, Thus saith 559 8804 the LORD 3068; Say 559 8798, A sword 2719, a sword 2719 is sharpened 2300 8717, and also furbished 4803 8803:

21:10 It is sharpened 2300 8717 to make a sore 2874 slaughter 2873 8800; it is furbished 4178 8794 that it may glitter 1300: should 176 we then make mirth 7797 8799? it contemneth 3988 8802 the rod 7626 of my son 1121, [as] every tree 6086.(it contemneth…: or, it is the rod of my son, it despiseth every tree)

21:11 And he hath given 5414 8799 it to be furbished 4803 8800, that it may be handled 3709 8610 8800: this sword 2719 is sharpened 2300 8717, and it is furbished 4178 8794, to give 5414 8800 it into the hand 3027 of the slayer 2026 8802.

21:12 Cry 2199 8798 and howl 3213 8685, son 1121 of man 120: for it shall be upon my people 5971, it [shall be] upon all the princes 5387 of Israel 3478: terrors 4048 8803 by reason of 413 the sword 2719 shall be upon my people 5971: smite 5606 8798 therefore upon [thy] thigh 3409.(terrors…: or, they are thrust down to the sword with my people)

21:13 Because [it is] a trial 974 8795, and what if [the sword] contemn 3988 8802 even the rod 7626? it shall be no [more], saith 5002 8803 the Lord 136 GOD 3069.(Because…: or, When the trial hath been, what then? shall they not also belong to the despising rod?)

21:14 Thou therefore, son 1121 of man 120, prophesy 5012 8734, and smite 5221 0 [thine] hands 3709 3709 together 5221 8685, and let the sword 2719 be doubled 3717 8735 the third 7992 time, the sword 2719 of the slain 2491: it [is] the sword 2719 of the great 1419 [men that are] slain 2491, which entereth into their privy chambers 2314 8802.(hands…: Heb. hand to hand)

21:15 I have set 5414 8804 the point 19 of the sword 2719 against all their gates 8179, that [their] heart 3820 may faint 4127 8800, and [their] ruins 4383 be multiplied 7235 8687: ah 253! [it is] made 6213 8803 bright 1300, [it is] wrapped up 4593 for the slaughter 2874.(point: or, glittering, or, fear)(wrapped up: or, sharpened)

21:16 Go thee one way or other 258 8690, [either] on 7760 8685 the right hand 3231 8685, [or] on the left 8041 8685, whithersoever 575 thy face 6440 [is] set 3259 8716.(or on…: Heb. set thyself, take the left hand)

21:17 I will also smite 5221 8686 mine hands 3709 together 3709, and I will cause my fury 2534 to rest 5117 8689: I the LORD 3068 have said 1696 8765 [it].

21:18 The word 1697 of the LORD 3068 came unto me again, saying 559 8800,

21:19 Also, thou son 1121 of man 120, appoint 7760 8798 thee two 8147 ways 1870, that the sword 2719 of the king 4428 of Babylon 894 may come 935 8800: both twain 8147 shall come forth 3318 8799 out of one 259 land 776: and choose 1254 8761 thou a place 3027, choose 1254 8761 [it] at the head 7218 of the way 1870 to the city 5892.

21:20 Appoint 7760 8799 a way 1870, that the sword 2719 may come 935 8800 to Rabbath 7237 of the Ammonites 1121 5983, and to Judah 3063 in Jerusalem 3389 the defenced 1219 8803.

21:21 For the king 4428 of Babylon 894 stood 5975 8804 at the parting 517 of the way 1870, at the head 7218 of the two 8147 ways 1870, to use 7080 8800 divination 7081: he made [his] arrows 2671 bright 7043 8773, he consulted 7592 8804 with images 8655, he looked 7200 8804 in the liver 3516.(parting of: Heb. mother of)(arrows: or, knives)(images: Heb. teraphim)

21:22 At his right hand 3225 was the divination 7081 for Jerusalem 3389, to appoint 7760 8800 captains 3733, to open 6605 8800 the mouth 6310 in the slaughter 7524, to lift up 7311 8687 the voice 6963 with shouting 8643, to appoint 7760 8800 [battering] rams 3733 against the gates 8179, to cast 8210 8800 a mount 5550, [and] to build 1129 8800 a fort 1785.(captains: or, battering rams: Heb. rams)

21:23 And it shall be unto them as a false 7723 divination 7080 8800 in their sight 5869, to them that have sworn 7650 8803 oaths 7621: but he will call to remembrance 2142 8688 the iniquity 5771, that they may be taken 8610 8736.(to them…: or, for the oaths made unto them)

21:24 Therefore thus saith 559 8804 the Lord 136 GOD 3069; Because ye have made your iniquity 5771 to be remembered 2142 8687, in that your transgressions 6588 are discovered 1540 8736, so that in all your doings 5949 your sins 2403 do appear 7200 8736; because, [I say], that ye are come to remembrance 2142 8736, ye shall be taken 8610 8735 with the hand 3709.

21:25 And thou, profane 2491 wicked 7563 prince 5387 of Israel 3478, whose day 3117 is come 935 8804, when 6256 iniquity 5771 [shall have] an end 7093,

21:26 Thus saith 559 8804 the Lord 136 GOD 3069; Remove 5493 8685 the diadem 4701, and take off 7311 8685 the crown 5850: this [shall] not [be] the same 2063: exalt 1361 8687 [him that is] low 8217, and abase 8213 8687 [him that is] high 1364.

21:27 I will overturn 5754, overturn 5754, overturn 5754, it: and it shall be 7760 8799 no [more], until he come 935 8800 whose right 4941 it is; and I will give 5414 8804 it [him].(I will overturn…: Heb. Perverted, perverted, perverted, will I make it)

21:28 And thou, son 1121 of man 120, prophesy 5012 8734 and say 559 8804, Thus saith 559 8804 the Lord 136 GOD 3069 concerning the Ammonites 1121 5983, and concerning their reproach 2781; even say 559 8804 thou, The sword 2719, the sword 2719 [is] drawn 6605 8803: for the slaughter 2874 [it is] furbished 4803 8803, to consume 398 8687 because of the glittering 1300:

21:29 Whiles they see 2372 8800 vanity 7723 unto thee, whiles they divine 7080 8800 a lie 3577 unto thee, to bring 5414 8800 thee upon the necks 6677 of [them that are] slain 2491, of the wicked 7563, whose day 3117 is come 935 8804, when 6256 their iniquity 5771 [shall have] an end 7093.

21:30 Shall I cause [it] to return 7725 8685 into his sheath 8593? I will judge 8199 8799 thee in the place 4725 where thou wast created 1254 8738, in the land 776 of thy nativity 4351.(Shall…: or, Cause it to return)

21:31 And I will pour out 8210 8804 mine indignation 2195 upon thee, I will blow 6315 8686 against thee in the fire 784 of my wrath 5678, and deliver 5414 8804 thee into the hand 3027 of brutish 1197 8802 men 582, [and] skilful 2796 to destroy 4889.(brutish: or, burning)
