Ezekiel 21:3-5

New International Reader's Version

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. ⁵ Then all people will know that I have pulled out my sword. I will not put it back. I am the Lord.” ’
