THEN the word of the LORD came to me,saying,

2 ''Son of man,set your face toward Jerusalem,preach against the holy places,and prophessy againt the land of Israel.

3 ''And ay to the land of Israel,'Thus says the LORD:''Bhold,I am against you,and I will draw My sword out of its sheath and cut off  both righteeous and wicked from you.

4 ''Because I will cut off both righteous and wicked from you,therefore My sword shall go out of its sheath against all flesh from south to north.

5 ''That all flesh may know that I ,the LORD,have drawn My sword out of itssheath;it shall not return anymore.

6 ''Sigh therefore,son of man,with a breaking heart,and with bitterness before their eyes.

7 ''And it shal be when they ay to you,'Why are you sighing?'that you shall answer,,'Because of the news;when it comes,every heart will melt,all hands wll be feeble,every spirit will faint,and all knee will be week as water.Behold ,it is coming and shall  be brought to pass,'says the LORD GOD.Ezekiel 21:1-7
