  21:1 ¶
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying, |
|
21:1 ¶
And the word°
of Yahweh°
came°
unto°
me, saying,°° |
|
21:2
Therefore prophesy, son of man, set thy face steadfastly toward Jerusalem, and look toward their holy places, and thou shalt prophesy against the land of Israel, |
|
21:2
Son°
of man,°
set°°
thy face°
toward°
Jerusalem,°
and drop°°
[thy word] toward°
the holy places,°
and prophesy°°
against°
the land°
of Israel,° |
|
21:3
and thou shalt say to the land of Israel, Thus saith the Lord; Behold, I am against thee, and I will draw forth my sword out of its sheath, and I will destroy out of thee the transgressor and unrighteous. |
|
21:3
And say°°
to the land°
of Israel,°
Thus°
saith°°
Yahweh;°
Behold,°
I [am] against°
thee, and will draw forth°°
my sword°
out of his sheath,°°
and will cut off°°
from°
thee the righteous°
and the wicked.° |
|
21:4
Because I will destroy out of thee the unrighteous and the transgressor, [therefore] so shall my sword come forth out of its sheath against all flesh from the south to the north: |
|
21:4
Seeing°
then°
that°
I will cut off°°
from°
thee the righteous°
and the wicked,°
therefore°
shall my sword°
go forth°°
out of his sheath°°
against°
all°
flesh°
from the south°°
to the north:° |
|
21:5
and all flesh shall know that I the Lord have drawn forth my sword out of its sheath: it shall not return any more. |
|
21:5
That all°
flesh°
may know°°
that°
I°
Yahweh°
have drawn forth°°
my sword°
out of his sheath:°°
it shall not°
return°°
any more.° |
|
21:6
And thou, son of man, groan with the breaking of thy loins; thou shalt even groan heavily in their sight. |
|
21:6
Sigh°°
therefore, thou°
son°
of man,°
with the breaking°
of [thy] loins;°
and with bitterness°
sigh°°
before their eyes.° |
|
21:7
And it shall come to pass, if they shall say to thee, Wherefore dost thou groan? that thou shalt say, For the report; because it comes: and every heart shall break, and all hands shall become feeble, and all flesh and every spirit shall faint, and all thighs shall be defiled with moisture: behold, it comes, saith the Lord. |
|
21:7
And it shall be,°
when°
they say°°
unto°
thee, Wherefore°°
sighest°°
thou?°
that thou shalt answer,°°
For°
the tidings;°
because°
it cometh:°°
and every°
heart°
shall melt,°°
and all°
hands°
shall be feeble,°°
and every°
spirit°
shall faint,°°
and all°
knees°
shall be weak°°°
[as] water:°
behold,°
it cometh,°°
and shall be brought to pass,°°
saith°°
Adonai°
Yahweh.° |
|
21:8 ¶
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying, |
|
21:8 ¶
Again the word°
of Yahweh°
came°
unto°
me, saying,°° |
|
21:9
Son of man, prophesy, and thou shalt say, Thus saith the Lord; Say, Sword, sword, be sharpened and rage, |
|
21:9
Son°
of man,°
prophesy,°°
and say,°°
Thus°
saith°°
Yahweh;°°
Say,°°
A sword,°
a sword°
is sharpened,°°
and also°
furbished:°° |
|
21:10
that thou mayest slay victims; be sharpened that thou mayest be bright, ready for slaughter, slay, set at nought, despise every tree. |
|
21:10
It is sharpened°°
to°
make a sore°
slaughter;°°°
it is furbished°°°
that°
it may glitter:°°
should°
we then°
make mirth?°°
it contemneth°°
the rod°
of my son,°
[as] every°
tree.° |
|
21:11
And he made it ready for his hand to hold: the sword is sharpened, it is ready to put into the hand of the slayer. |
|
21:11
And he hath given°°
it to be furbished,°°
that it may be handled:°°°
this°
sword°
is sharpened,°°
and it°
is furbished,°°°
to give°°
it into the hand°
of the slayer.°° |
|
21:12
Cry out and howl, son of man: for this [sword] is come upon my people, this [sword is come] upon all the princes of Israel: they shall be as strangers: [judgment] with the sword is come upon my people: therefore clap thine hands, for sentence has been passed: |
|
21:12
Cry°°
and howl,°°
son°
of man:°
for°
it°
shall be°
upon my people,°
it°
[shall be] upon all°
the princes°
of Israel:°
terrors°°
by reason of°
the sword°
shall be°
upon°
my people:°
smite°°
therefore°
upon°
[thy] thigh.° |
|
21:13
and what if even the tribe be rejected? it shall not be, saith the Lord God. |
|
21:13
Because°
[it is] a trial,°°
and what°
if°
[the sword] contemn°°
even°
the rod?°
it shall be°
no°
[more], saith°°
Adonai°
Yahweh.° |
|
21:14
And thou, son of man, prophesy, and clap thine hands, and take a second sword: the third sword is [the sword] of the slain, the great sword of the slain: and thou shalt strike them with amazement, lest the heart should faint |
|
21:14
Thou°
therefore, son°
of man,°
prophesy,°°
and smite°°
[thine] hands°
together,°°°°
and let the sword°
be doubled°°
the third°
time,°
the sword°
of the slain:°
it°
[is] the sword°
of the great°
[men that are] slain,°
which entereth into their privy chambers.°° |
|
21:15
and the weak ones be multiplied at every gate-- they are given up to the slaughter of the sword: it is well fitted for slaughter, it is well fitted for glittering. |
|
21:15
I have set°°
the point°
of the sword°
against°
all°
their gates,°
that°
[their] heart°
may faint,°°
and [their] ruins°
be multiplied:°°
ah!°
[it is] made°°
bright,°°
[it is] wrapped up°
for the slaughter.° |
|
21:16
And do thou go on, sharpen thyself on the right and on the left whithersoever thy face may set itself. |
|
21:16
Go thee one way or other,°°
[either] on°°
the right hand,°°
[or] on the left,°°
whithersoever°
thy face°
[is] set.°° |
|
21:17
And I also will clap my hands, and let loose my fury: I the Lord have spoken [it]. |
|
21:17
I°
will also°
smite°°
mine hands°
together,°°
and I will cause my fury°
to rest:°°
I°
Yahweh°
have said°°
[it]. |
|
21:18 ¶
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying, |
|
21:18 ¶
The word°
of Yahweh°
came°
unto°
me again, saying,°° |
|
21:19
and thou, son of man, appoint thee two ways, that the sword of the king of Babylon may enter in: the two shall go forth of one country; and [there shall be] a force at the top of the way of the city, thou shalt set [it] at the top of the way, |
|
21:19
Also, thou°
son°
of man,°
appoint°°
thee two°
ways,°
that the sword°
of the king°
of Babylon°
may come:°°
both twain°
shall come forth°°
out of one°
land:°°°
and choose°°
thou a place,°
choose°°
[it] at the head°
of the way°
to the city.° |
|
21:20
that the sword may enter in upon Rabbah{gr.Rabbath} of the children of Ammon, and upon Judah{gr.Judea}, and upon Jerusalem in the midst thereof. |
|
21:20
Appoint°°
a way,°
that the sword°
may come°°
to°
Rabbath°
of the Ammonites,°°
and to°
Judah°
in Jerusalem°
the defenced.°° |
|
21:21
For the king of Babylon shall stand on the old way, at the head of the two ways, to use divination, to make bright the arrow, and to enquire of the graven images, and to examine [the victims]. |
|
21:21
For°
the king°
of Babylon°
stood°°
at°
the parting°
of the way,°
at the head°
of the two°
ways,°
to use°°
divination:°
he made [his] arrows°
bright,°°°
he consulted°°
with images,°
he looked°°
in the liver.° |
|
21:22
On his right was the divination against Jerusalem, to cast a mound, to open the mouth in shouting, to lift up the voice with crying, to cast a mound against her gates, to cast up a heap, and to build forts. |
|
21:22
At his right hand°
was°
the divination°
for Jerusalem,°
to appoint°°
captains,°
to open°°
the mouth°
in the slaughter,°
to lift up°°
the voice°
with shouting,°
to appoint°°
[battering] rams°
against°
the gates,°
to cast°°
a mount,°
[and] to build°°
a fort.° |
|
21:23
And he was to them as one using divination before them, and he himself recounting his iniquities, that they might be borne in mind. |
|
21:23
And it shall be°
unto them as a false°
divination°°
in their sight,°
to them that have sworn°°
oaths:°
but he°
will call to remembrance°°
the iniquity,°
that they may be taken.°° |
|
21:24
Therefore thus saith the Lord, Because ye have caused your iniquities to be remembered, in the discovery of your wickedness, so that your sins should be seen, in all your wickedness and in your [evil] practices; because ye have caused remembrance [of them], in these shall ye be taken. |
|
21:24
Therefore°
thus°
saith°°
Adonai°
Yahweh;°
Because°
ye have made your iniquity°
to be remembered,°°
in that your transgressions°
are discovered,°°
so that in all°
your doings°
your sins°
do appear;°°
because,°
[I say], that ye are come to remembrance,°°
ye shall be taken°°
with the hand.° |
|
21:25 ¶
And thou profane wicked prince of Israel, whose day, [even] and end, is come in a sea of iniquity, thus saith the Lord; |
|
21:25 ¶
And thou,°
profane°
wicked°
prince°
of Israel,°
whose°
day°
is come,°°
when°
iniquity°
[shall have] an end,° |
|
21:26
Thou hast taken off the mitre and put on the crown, it shall not have such [another] after it: thou hast abased that which was high, and exalted that which was low. |
|
21:26
Thus°
saith°°
Adonai°
Yahweh;°
Remove°°
the diadem,°
and take off°°
the crown:°
this°
[shall] not°
[be] the same:°
exalt°°
[him that is] low,°
and abase°°
[him that is] high.° |
|
21:27
Injustice, injustice, injustice, will I make it: woe to it: such shall it be until he comes to whom it belongs; and I will deliver [it] to him. |
|
21:27
I will°
overturn,°
overturn,°
overturn,°
it: and°
it°
shall be°°°
no°
[more], until°
he come°°
whose°
right°
it is; and I will give°°
it [him]. |
|
21:28 ¶
And thou, son of man, prophesy, and thou shalt say, Thus saith the Lord, concerning the children of Ammon, and concerning their reproach; and thou shalt say, O sword, sword, drawn for slaughter, and drawn for destruction, awake, that thou mayest gleam. |
|
21:28 ¶
And thou,°
son°
of man,°
prophesy°°
and say,°°
Thus°
saith°°
Adonai°
Yahweh°
concerning°
the Ammonites,°°
and concerning°
their reproach;°
even say°°
thou, The sword,°
the sword°
[is] drawn:°°
for the slaughter°
[it is] furbished,°°
to consume°°°
because of°
the glittering:° |
|
21:29
While thou art seeing vain [visions], and while thou art prophesying falsehoods, to bring thyself upon the necks of ungodly transgressors, the day is come, [even] an end, in a season of iniquity. |
|
21:29
Whiles they see°°
vanity°
unto thee, whiles they divine°°
a lie°
unto thee, to bring°°
thee upon°
the necks°
of [them that are] slain,°
of the wicked,°
whose°
day°°
is come,°°
when°
their iniquity°
[shall have] an end.° |
|
21:30
Turn, rest not in this place wherein thou wert born: in thine own land will I judge thee. |
|
21:30
Shall I cause [it] to return°°
into°
his sheath?°
I will judge°°
thee in the place°
where°
thou wast created,°°
in the land°
of thy nativity.° |
|
21:31
And I will pour out my wrath upon thee, I will blow upon thee with the fire of my wrath, and I will deliver thee into the hands of barbarians skilled in working destruction. |
|
21:31
And I will pour out°°
mine indignation°
upon°
thee, I will blow°°
against°
thee in the fire°
of my wrath,°
and deliver°°
thee into the hand°
of brutish°°
men,°°
[and] skilful°
to destroy.° |
|
21:32
Thou shalt be fuel for fire; thy blood shall be in the midst of thy land; there shall be no remembrance at all of thee: for I the Lord have spoken [it]. |
|
21:32
Thou shalt be°
for fuel°
to the fire;°
thy blood°
shall be°
in the midst°
of the land;°
thou shalt be no°
[more] remembered:°°
for°
I°
Yahweh°
have spoken°°
[it]. |
