Ezekiel 21:3-5

International Standard Version

³ Declare to Israel, ‘This is what the Lord says: “Watch out! I’m against you! I’m going to unsheathe my sword to kill both the righteous and the wicked among you. ⁴ Since I’m going to kill both the righteous and the wicked among you, I’ll be unsheathing my sword against everyone from south to north. ⁵ Then everyone will know that I am the Lord, who unsheathed my sword, and who won’t have to unsheathe it again.”’
