A Vision of the Avenging Sword of Yahweh
21 And the word of Yahweh came[fn] to me,saying,[fn] 2 “Son of man,[fn] set your face toward Jerusalem, and preach tothe sanctuaries, and prophesy to the land of Israel. 3 And you must say to the land of Israel, ‘Thus says Yahweh: “Look! I am against you, and I will draw out my sword from its sheath, and I will cut off from you the righteous and the wicked. 4 Because[fn] I will cutoff from you both righteous and wicked, therefore my sword will go out from its sheath to[fn] all creatures[fn] from southto north. 5 And they will know, all creatures, that I, Yahweh, I will bring out my sword from its sheath; it will not return again!” ’ 6 And you, son of man,[fn] groanwith shaking hips,[fn] and you must groan with bitterness before their eyes. 7 And then[fn] when they say to you, ‘On account of whatare you groaning?’ then you must say, ‘On account of the report, for it is coming, and every heart will be weak and all hands will hang limp and every spirit will be disheartened, and all knees will go like water.’ Look! It is coming, and it will happen!” declares[fn] the Lord Yahweh.
8 And the word of Yahweh came[fn] to me,saying,[fn] 9 “Son of man,[fn] prophesy, and you must say, ‘Thus says the Lord,’ say, ‘A sword, a swordis sharpened and is also polished. 10 It is sharpened to slaughter a slaughter, polished to flash like lightning![fn] Or will we rejoice?[fn] A rod, my son,is despising every tree.[fn] 11 And he gives it to be polished, to be seized by the hand.[fn] It is sharpened—a sword—and itis polished to give it into the hand of the killer. 12 Cry and wail, son of man,[fn] for it is against my people; it is against all of the princes of Israel. They are thrown tothe sword with my people; therefore strike your thigh.[fn] 13 For examine![fn] And what if alsothe rod will not be despising?’ declares[fn] the Lord Yahweh. 14 And you, son of man,[fn] prophesyand clap your hands.[fn] And the sword willstrike twice;[fn] let it happen a third time. Itis a sword of the dead, the sword of the great dead that is surrounding them, 15 so that a heart melts, and the fallen multiply[fn] at all of their gates. I gave a sword for slaughter,and alas! It is made for flashing, it is grasped[fn] for slaughtering. 16 Gather together, strike to the right; cause to go to the left, where your edge[fn]is directed. 17 And also I myself[fn] willclap my hands,[fn] and I will satisfy my rage! I, Yahweh, I have spoken.”
18 And the word of Yahweh came[fn] to me,saying,[fn] 19 “And you, son of man,[fn] markout for yourself[fn] two roads for the coming of the sword of the king of Babylon; they mustboth[fn] go out from the same land. And hewout a signpost;[fn] hewit at the head of the road of the city. 20 You must mark a road for the coming of the sword to Rabbah of the Ammonites[fn] andto Judah, in Jerusalem the fortified. 21 For the king of Babylon stands at the fork of the road at the head of the two roads to practice divination. He shakes the arrows,[fn] he inquires with the teraphim, heexamines[fn] the liver. 22 In his right hand is the divination for Jerusalem, to put up battering rams, to open a mouth for slaughter,[fn]to raise the battle cry,[fn] to putup battering rams against gates, to build a siege ramp, to build siege works.[fn] 23 And it will be to them like practicing divination falsely[fn] in their eyes;they have sworn oaths for themselves.[fn] But[fn] hewill bring their guilt to remembrance so as to seize them.
24 “Therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh: ‘Because you have brought to remembrance your guilt by the uncovering of your transgressions, so that your sins in all of your deeds appear—because of your being remembered, you will be captured in the hand.’ 25 And as for you, profane one, wicked prince of Israel, whose day has come with the time of the punishment of the end, 26 thus says the Lord Yahweh: ‘Remove the turban and lift off the crown; things are no longer the same. Exalt the low and bring low the high. 27 A ruin, a ruin, a ruin I will make it! Also[fn] this has notever happened;[fn]it will remain until the coming of the one to whom the judgment belongs and I have given it to him.’ 28 And you, son of man,[fn] prophesy, and you must say, ‘Thus says the Lord Yahweh to theAmmonites[fn] and concerning their disgrace,’ and you must say, ‘A sword, a swordis drawn for slaughtering; it is polished for holding, for flashing like lightning,[fn] 29 when seeing a false vision for you in vain, when practicing divination for you falsely, to give[fn] you onthe neck of the profane ones of the wicked, whose day has come,[fn]the time of final punishment.[fn] 30 Return it to its sheath in the place where you were created. In the land of your origin I will judge you! 31 And I will pour out my anger on you; I will blow on you with the fire of my wrath, and I will give you into the hand of brutal men, skilled craftsmen of destruction. 32 You will be as fuel for the fire; your blood will be in the midst of the earth. You will not be remembered, for I, Yahweh, I have spoken.’ ”
