Ezekiel 21:3-5

New Century Version

³ Say to Israel: ‘This is what the Lord says: I am against you. I will pull my sword out of its holder, and I will cut off from you both the wicked and those who do right. ⁴ Because I am going to cut off the wicked and those who do right, my sword will come out from its holder and attack all people from south to north. ⁵ Then all people will know that I, the Lord, have pulled my sword out from its holder. My sword will not go back in again.’
