Ezekiel 21:3-5

New King James Version

³ and say to the land of Israel, ‘Thus says the Lord: “Behold, I am ^(A)against you, and I will draw My sword out of its sheath and cut off both ^(B)righteous and wicked from you. ⁴ Because I will cut off both righteous and wicked from you, therefore My sword shall go out of its sheath against all flesh ^(C)from south to north, ⁵ that all flesh may know that I, the Lord, have drawn My sword out of its sheath; it ^(D)shall not return anymore.” ’
