Ezekiel 21:1-12 ESV . . .The word of the יהוה came to me: (2) "Son of man, set your face toward Jerusalem and preach against the sanctuaries. Prophesy against the land of Israel (3) and say to the land of Israel, Thus says יהוה: Behold, I am against you and will draw my sword from its sheath and will cut off from you both righteous and wicked. (4) Because I will cut off from you both righteous and wicked, therefore my sword shall be drawn from its sheath against all flesh from south to north. (5) And all flesh shall know that I am יהוה. I have drawn my sword from its sheath; it shall not be sheathed again. (6) "As for you, son of man, groan; with breaking heart and bitter grief, groan before their eyes. (7) And when they say to you, 'Why do you groan?' you shall say, 'Because of the news that it is coming. Every heart will melt, and all hands will be feeble; every spirit will faint, and all knees will be weak as water. Behold, it is coming, and it will be fulfilled,'" declares יהוה GOD.

(Or shall we rejoice? You have despised the rod, my son, with everything of wood.) (11) So the sword is given to be polished, that it may be grasped in the hand. It is sharpened and polished to be given into the hand of the slayer. (12) Cry out and wail, son of man, for it is against my people. It is against all the princes of Israel.
