Ezekiel 21:3-5

Holman Christian Standard Bible

³ and say to it: This is what the Lord says: I am against you.^(A) I will draw My sword from its sheath and cut off both the righteous and the wicked from you. ⁴ Since I will cut off^[a] both the righteous and the wicked, My sword will therefore come out of its sheath against everyone from the south to the north.^{(B) 5} So all the people will know that I, Yahweh, have taken My sword from its sheath—it will not be sheathed again.^(C)
