³ and say to the land of Israel, ‘Thus says Yahweh, “Behold, ^(A)I am against you; and I will bring out My sword from its sheath and cut off from you the ^(B)righteous and the wicked. ⁴ Because I will cut off from you the righteous and the wicked, therefore My sword will go out from its sheath against ^(C)all flesh from south to north. ⁵ Thus all flesh will know that I, Yahweh, have brought out My sword from its sheath. It will ^(D)not return to its sheath again.”’
