Ezekiel 21:2-4

New International Reader's Version

² “Son of man, turn your attention to Jerusalem. Preach against the temple. Prophesy against the land of Israel. ³ Tell them, ‘The Lord says, “I am against you. I will pull out my sword. I will remove from you godly people and sinful people alike. ⁴ Because I am going to remove them, my sword will be ready to use. I will strike down everyone from south to north.
