and tell her that this is what the LORD says: ‘I am against you, and I will draw My sword from its sheath and cut off from you both the righteous and the wicked.
Ezekiel 21:3 · BSB
The verses around it, from Ezekiel 21.
1 And the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
2 “Son of man, set your face against Jerusalem and preach against the sanctuaries. Prophesy against the land of Israel
3 and tell her that this is what the LORD says: ‘I am against you, and I will draw My sword from its sheath and cut off from you both the righteous and the wicked.
4 Because I will cut off both the righteous and the wicked, My sword will be unsheathed against everyone from south to north.
5 Then all flesh will know that I, the LORD, have taken My sword from its sheath, not to return it again.’
6 But you, son of man, groan! Groan before their eyes with a broken heart and bitter grief.
7 And when they ask, ‘Why are you groaning?’ you are to say, ‘Because of the news that is coming. Every heart will melt, and every hand will go limp. Every spirit will faint, and every knee will turn to water.’ Yes, it is coming and it will surely happen, declares the Lord GOD.”
