Ezekiel 21:3-5

GOD’S WORD Translation

³ Tell the land of Israel, ‘This is what the Lord says: I am against you. I will take my sword out of its scabbard and kill the righteous people and the wicked people among you. ⁴ I’m going to kill the righteous people and the wicked people among you. That is why my sword will come out of its scabbard to be used against everyone from the south to the north. ⁵ Then everyone will know that I, the Lord, have taken my sword from its scabbard, and I will not put it back again.’
