And the word¹⁶⁹⁷ of Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ came unto me, saying,⁵⁵⁹

Son¹¹²¹ of man,¹²⁰ set⁷⁷⁶⁰ thy face⁶⁴⁴⁰ toward Jerusalem,³³⁸⁹ and drop⁵¹⁹⁷ thy word toward the holy places,⁴⁷²⁰ and prophesy⁵⁰¹² against the land¹²⁷ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸

And say⁵⁵⁹ to the land¹²⁷ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ Thus saith⁵⁵⁹ Yahweh;³⁰⁶⁸ Behold, I am against thee, and will draw forth³³¹⁸ my sword²⁷¹⁹ out of his sheath,⁸⁵⁹³ and will cut off³⁷⁷² from thee the righteous⁶⁶⁶² and the wicked.⁷⁵⁶³

Seeing then³²⁸² that I will cut off³⁷⁷² from thee the righteous⁶⁶⁶² and the wicked,⁷⁵⁶³ therefore shall my sword²⁷¹⁹ go forth³³¹⁸ out of his sheath⁸⁵⁹³ against all flesh¹³²⁰ from the south⁵⁰⁴⁵ to the north:⁶⁸²⁸

That all flesh¹³²⁰ may know³⁰⁴⁵ that I Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ have drawn forth³³¹⁸ my sword²⁷¹⁹ out of his sheath:⁸⁵⁹³ it shall not return⁷⁷²⁵ any more.

Sigh⁵⁸⁴ therefore, thou son¹¹²¹ of man,¹²⁰ with the breaking⁷⁶⁷⁰ of thy loins;⁴⁹⁷⁵ and with bitterness⁴⁸¹⁴ sigh⁵⁸⁴ before their eyes.⁵⁸⁶⁹

And it shall be, when they say⁵⁵⁹ unto thee, Wherefore sighest⁵⁸⁴ thou? that thou shalt answer,⁵⁵⁹ For the tidings;⁸⁰⁵² because it cometh:⁹³⁵ and every heart³⁸²⁰ shall melt,⁴⁵⁴⁹ and all hands³⁰²⁷ shall be feeble,⁷⁵⁰³ and every spirit⁷³⁰⁷ shall faint,³⁵⁴³ and all knees¹²⁹⁰ shall be weak³²¹² as water:⁴³²⁵ behold, it cometh,⁹³⁵ and shall be brought to pass,¹⁹⁶¹ saith⁵⁰⁰² my Sovereign¹³⁶ Yahweh.³⁰⁶⁹

Again the word¹⁶⁹⁷ of Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ came unto me, saying,⁵⁵⁹

Son¹¹²¹ of man,¹²⁰ prophesy,⁵⁰¹² and say,⁵⁵⁹ Thus saith⁵⁵⁹ Yahweh;³⁰⁶⁸ Say,⁵⁵⁹ A sword,²⁷¹⁹ a sword²⁷¹⁹ is sharpened,²³⁰⁰ and also furbished:⁴⁸⁰³

It is sharpened²³⁰⁰ to make a sore²⁸⁷⁴ slaughter;²⁸⁷³ it is furbished⁴⁸⁰³ that it may glitter:¹³⁰⁰ should we then¹⁷⁶ make mirth?⁷⁷⁹⁷ it contemneth³⁹⁸⁸ the rod⁷⁶²⁶ of my son,¹¹²¹ as every tree.⁶⁰⁸⁶

And he hath given⁵⁴¹⁴ it to be furbished,⁴⁸⁰³ that it may be handled:³⁷⁰⁹ this sword²⁷¹⁹ is sharpened,²³⁰⁰ and it is furbished,⁴⁸⁰³ to give⁵⁴¹⁴ it into the hand³⁰²⁷ of the slayer.²⁰²⁶

Cry²¹⁹⁹ and howl,³²¹³ son¹¹²¹ of man:¹²⁰ for it shall be upon my people,⁵⁹⁷¹ it shall be upon all the princes⁵³⁸⁷ of Israel:³⁴⁷⁸ terrors⁴⁰⁴⁸ by reason of⁴¹³ the sword²⁷¹⁹ shall be upon my people:⁵⁹⁷¹ smite⁵⁶⁰⁶ therefore upon thy thigh.³⁴⁰⁹

Because it is a trial,⁹⁷⁴ and what if the sword contemn³⁹⁸⁸ even the rod?⁷⁶²⁶ it shall be no more, saith⁵⁰⁰² the Sovereign¹³⁶ Yahweh.³⁰⁶⁹

Thou therefore, son¹¹²¹ of man,¹²⁰ prophesy,⁵⁰¹² and smite⁵²²¹ thine hands³⁷⁰⁹ together,³⁷⁰⁹ and let the sword²⁷¹⁹ be doubled³⁷¹⁷ the third⁷⁹⁹² time, the sword²⁷¹⁹ of the slain:²⁴⁹¹ it is the sword²⁷¹⁹ of the great¹⁴¹⁹ men that are slain,²⁴⁹¹ which entereth into their privy chambers.²³¹⁴

I have set⁵⁴¹⁴ the point¹⁹ of the sword²⁷¹⁹ against all their gates,⁸¹⁷⁹ that their heart³⁸²⁰ may faint,⁴¹²⁷ and their ruins⁴³⁸³ be multiplied:⁷²³⁵ ah!²⁵³ it is made⁶²¹³ bright,¹³⁰⁰ it is wrapped up⁴⁵⁹³ for the slaughter.²⁸⁷⁴

Go thee one way or other,²⁵⁸ either on⁷⁷⁶⁰ the right hand,³²³¹ or on the left,⁸⁰⁴¹ whithersoever⁵⁷⁵ thy face⁶⁴⁴⁰ is set.³²⁵⁹

I will also smite⁵²²¹ mine hands³⁷⁰⁹ together,³⁷⁰⁹ and I will cause my fury²⁵³⁴ to rest:⁵¹¹⁷ I Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ have said¹⁶⁹⁶ it.

The word¹⁶⁹⁷ of Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ came unto me again, saying,⁵⁵⁹

Also, thou son¹¹²¹ of man,¹²⁰ appoint⁷⁷⁶⁰ thee two⁸¹⁴⁷ ways,¹⁸⁷⁰ that the sword²⁷¹⁹ of the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Babylon⁸⁹⁴ may come:⁹³⁵ both twain⁸¹⁴⁷ shall come forth³³¹⁸ out of one²⁵⁹ land:⁷⁷⁶ and choose¹²⁵⁴ thou a place,³⁰²⁷ choose¹²⁵⁴ it at the head⁷²¹⁸ of the way¹⁸⁷⁰ to the city.⁵⁸⁹²

Appoint⁷⁷⁶⁰ a way,¹⁸⁷⁰ that the sword²⁷¹⁹ may come⁹³⁵ to Rabbath⁷²³⁷ of the Ammonites,¹¹²¹ and to Judah³⁰⁶³ in Jerusalem³³⁸⁹ the defenced.¹²¹⁹

For the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Babylon⁸⁹⁴ stood⁵⁹⁷⁵ at the parting⁵¹⁷ of the way,¹⁸⁷⁰ at the head⁷²¹⁸ of the two⁸¹⁴⁷ ways,¹⁸⁷⁰ to use⁷⁰⁸⁰ divination:⁷⁰⁸¹ he made his arrows²⁶⁷¹ bright,⁷⁰⁴³ he consulted⁷⁵⁹² with images,⁸⁶⁵⁵ he looked⁷²⁰⁰ in the liver.³⁵¹⁶

At his right hand³²²⁵ was the divination⁷⁰⁸¹ for Jerusalem,³³⁸⁹ to appoint⁷⁷⁶⁰ captains,³⁷³³ to open⁶⁶⁰⁵ the mouth⁶³¹⁰ in the slaughter,⁷⁵²⁴ to lift up⁷³¹¹ the voice⁶⁹⁶³ with shouting,⁸⁶⁴³ to appoint⁷⁷⁶⁰ battering rams³⁷³³ against the gates,⁸¹⁷⁹ to cast⁸²¹⁰ a mount,⁵⁵⁵⁰ and to build¹¹²⁹ a fort.¹⁷⁸⁵

And it shall be unto them as a false⁷⁷²³ divination⁷⁰⁸⁰ in their sight,⁵⁸⁶⁹ to them that have sworn⁷⁶⁵⁰ oaths:⁷⁶²¹ but he will call to remembrance²¹⁴² the iniquity,⁵⁷⁷¹ that they may be taken.⁸⁶¹⁰

Therefore thus saith⁵⁵⁹ my Sovereign¹³⁶ Yahweh;³⁰⁶⁹ Because ye have made your iniquity⁵⁷⁷¹ to be remembered,²¹⁴² in that your transgressions⁶⁵⁸⁸ are discovered,¹⁵⁴⁰ so that in all your doings⁵⁹⁴⁹ your sins²⁴⁰³ do appear;⁷²⁰⁰ because, I say, that ye are come to remembrance,²¹⁴² ye shall be taken⁸⁶¹⁰ with the hand.³⁷⁰⁹

Revelation 13:3

And thou, profane²⁴⁹¹ wicked⁷⁵⁶³ prince⁵³⁸⁷ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ whose day³¹¹⁷ is come,⁹³⁵ when⁶²⁵⁶ iniquity⁵⁷⁷¹ shall have an end,⁷⁰⁹³

Thus saith⁵⁵⁹ my Sovereign¹³⁶ Yahweh;³⁰⁶⁹ Remove⁵⁴⁹³ the diadem,⁴⁷⁰¹ and take off⁷³¹¹ the crown:⁵⁸⁵⁰ this²⁰⁶³ shall not be the same:²⁰⁶³ exalt¹³⁶¹ him that is low,⁸²¹⁷ and abase⁸²¹³ him that is high.¹³⁶⁴

I will overturn,⁷⁷⁶⁰ overturn,⁵⁷⁵⁴ overturn,⁵⁷⁵⁴ it: and it shall be¹⁹⁶¹ no³⁸⁰⁸ more, until he come⁹³⁵ whose right⁴⁹⁴¹ it is; and I will give⁵⁴¹⁴ it him.

And thou, son¹¹²¹ of man,¹²⁰ prophesy⁵⁰¹² and say,⁵⁵⁹ Thus saith⁵⁵⁹ my Sovereign¹³⁶ Yahweh³⁰⁶⁹ concerning the Ammonites,¹¹²¹ and concerning their reproach;²⁷⁸¹ even say⁵⁵⁹ thou, The sword,²⁷¹⁹ the sword²⁷¹⁹ is drawn:⁶⁶⁰⁵ for the slaughter²⁸⁷⁴ it is furbished,⁴⁸⁰³ to consume³⁹⁸ because of the glittering:¹³⁰⁰

Whiles they see²³⁷² vanity⁷⁷²³ unto thee, whiles they divine⁷⁰⁸⁰ a lie³⁵⁷⁷ unto thee, to bring⁵⁴¹⁴ thee upon the necks⁶⁶⁷⁷ of them that are slain,²⁴⁹¹ of the wicked,⁷⁵⁶³ whose day³¹¹⁷ is come,⁹³⁵ when⁶²⁵⁶ their iniquity⁵⁷⁷¹ shall have an end.⁷⁰⁹³

Shall I cause it to return⁷⁷²⁵ into his sheath?⁸⁵⁹³ I will judge⁸¹⁹⁹ thee in the place⁴⁷²⁵ where thou wast created,¹²⁵⁴ in the land⁷⁷⁶ of thy nativity.⁴³⁵¹

And I will pour out⁸²¹⁰ mine indignation²¹⁹⁵ upon thee, I will blow⁶³¹⁵ against thee in the fire⁷⁸⁴ of my wrath,⁵⁶⁷⁸ and deliver⁵⁴¹⁴ thee into the hand³⁰²⁷ of brutish¹¹⁹⁷ men,⁵⁸² and skilful²⁷⁹⁶ to destroy.⁴⁸⁸⁹

Thou shalt be for fuel⁴⁰² to the fire;⁷⁸⁴ thy blood¹⁸¹⁸ shall be in the midst⁸⁴³² of the land;⁷⁷⁶ thou shalt be no more remembered:²¹⁴² for I Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ have spoken¹⁶⁹⁶ it.
