Ezekiel 21:3-5

Evangelical Heritage Version

This is what the Lord says. Hear this! I am against you, and I will draw my sword out of its scabbard, and I will cut off from you both the righteous and the wicked. ⁴ Because I have resolved to cut off from you both the righteous and the wicked, therefore my sword will come out of its scabbard against everyone from south to north. ⁵ Then all flesh will know that I, the Lord, have drawn my sword from its scabbard. It will not return to its sheath again.
