² “Human being, look toward Jerusalem and speak against their holy place. Prophesy against the land of Israel. ³ Say to Israel: ‘This is what the Lord says: I am against you. I will pull my sword out of its holder. I will separate you from both wicked people and those who do right. ⁴ I am going to separate the wicked and those who do right. So my sword will come out from its holder. And it will come against all people from south to north.
