v 1-5 : is 20:45-49
21:1 And Dvar YHWH (יהוה) came unto me, saying:
21:2 Ben Adam, set thy face toward Yerushalayim, and drop [thy word] toward the Set apart places, and prophesy against the eretz Yisrael,
21:3 And say to the eretz Yisrael,
Thus saith YHWH (יהוה):
Hinnei, I [am] against thee, and will draw forth My sword out of its sheath, and will cut off from thee the tzaddik and the rasha (wicked).
21:4 Seeing then that I will cut off from thee the tzaddik and the rasha (wicked), therefore shall My sword go forth out of his sheath against all flesh from the south to the north:
21:5 That all flesh may know that I YHWH (יהוה) have drawn forth My sword out of his sheath: it shall not return any more.
21:6 Sigh therefore, thou Ben Adam, with the breamelekh [thy] loins; and with bitterness sigh before their eyes.
21:7 And it shall be, when they say unto thee, Wherefore sighest thou? that thou shalt answer, For the tidings; because it cometh: and every heart shall melt, and all hands shall be feeble, and every spirit shall faint, and all knees shall be weak [as] water: Hinnei, it cometh, and shall be brought to pass, saith Adonay (אדני) YHWH (יהוה).
21:8 Again Dvar YHWH (יהוה) came unto me, saying,
21:9 Ben Adam, prophesy, and say,
Thus saith *YHWH (יהוה):
Say, A sword, a sword is sharpened, and also furbished:
21:10 It is sharpened to make a sore slaughter; it is furbished that it may glitter: should we then make mirth? it contemneth the rod of My son, [as] every tree.
21:11 And he hath given it to be furbished, that it may be handled: this sword is sharpened, and it is furbished, to give it into the hand of the slayer.
21:12 Cry and howl, Ben Adam: for it shall be upon My people, it [shall be] upon all the princes of Yisrael: terrors by reason of the sword shall be upon My people: smite therefore upon [thy] thigh.
21:13 Because [it is] a trial, and what if [the sword] contemn even the rod? it shall be no [more], saith Adonay (אדני) YHWH (יהוה).
21:14 Thou therefore, Ben Adam, prophesy, and smite [thine] hands together, and let the sword be doubled the third time, the sword of the slain: it [is] the sword of the great [men that are] slain, which entereth into their privy chambers.
21:15 I have set the point of the sword against all their gates, that [their] heart may faint, and [their] ruins be multiplied: ah! [it is] made bright, [it is] wrapped up for the slaughter.
21:16 Go thee one way or other, [either] on the right hand, [or] on the left, whithersoever thy face [is] set.
21:17 I will also smite My hands together, and I will cause My fury to rest: I YHWH (יהוה) have said [it].
21:18 Dvar YHWH (יהוה) came unto me again, saying,
21:19 Also, thou Ben Adam, appoint thee two ways, that the sword of the melekh Bavel may come: both twain shall come forth out of one land: and choose thou a place, choose [it] at the head of the way to the city.
21:20 Appoint a way, that the sword may come to Rabbath of the Bnei Ammon, and to Yehudah in Yerushalayim the defenced.
21:21 For the melekh Bavel stood at the parting of the way, at the head of the two ways, to use divination: he made [his] arrows bright, he consulted with images, he looked in the liver.
21:22 At his right hand was the divination for Yerushalayim, to appoint captains, to open the mouth in the slaughter, to lift up the voice with shouting, to appoint [battering] rams against the gates, to cast a mount, [and] to build a fort.
21:23 And it shall be unto them as a false divination in their sight, to them that have sworn oaths: but he will call to remembrance the iniquity, that they may be taken.
21:24 Therefore thus saith Adonay (אדני) YHWH (יהוה); Because ye have made your iniquity to be remembered, in that your transgressions are discovered, so that in all your doings your sins do appear; because, [I say], that ye are come to remembrance, ye shall be taken with the hand.
21:25 And thou, profane rasha (wicked) prince of Yisrael, whose day is come, when iniquity [shall have] an end,
21:26 Thus saith Adonay (אדני) YHWH (יהוה);
Remove the mitznefet (turban), and take off the Atarah (crown):
this [shall] not [be] the same:
exalt [him that is] low, and abase [him that is] high.
21:27 'A ruin, a ruin, a ruin, I will make it: and it shall be no [more], until he come whose right it is; and I will give it [him].
21:28 And thou, Ben Adam, prophesy and say, Thus saith Adonay (אדני) YHWH (יהוה) concerning the Bnei Ammon, and concerning their reproach; even say thou,
The sword, the sword [is] drawn: for the slaughter [it is] furbished, to consume because of the glittering:
21:29 Whiles they see vanity unto thee, whiles they divine a lie unto thee, to bring thee upon the necks of [them that are] slain, of the rasha (wicked), whose day is come, when their iniquity [shall have] an end.
21:30 Shall I cause [it] to return into his sheath? I will judge thee in the place where thou wast created, in the eretz thy nativity.
21:31 And I will pour out My za'am (indignation, wrath, rage) upon thee, I will blow against thee in the fire of My wrath, and deliver thee into the hand of brutish men, [and] skilful to destroy.
21:32 Thou shalt be for fuel to the fire; thy blood shall be in the midst of the land; thou shalt be no [more] remembered: for I YHWH (יהוה) have spoken [it].
