26:020:043 And there shall ye remember your ways, and all your doings, wherein ye have been defiled; and ye shall lothe yourselves in your own sight for all your evils that ye have committed. 26:020:044 And ye shall know that I am the LORD when I have wrought with you for my name's sake, not according to your wicked ways, nor according to your corrupt doings, O ye house of Israel, saith the Lord GOD. 26:020:045 Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 26:020:046 Son of man, set thy face toward the south, and drop thy word toward the south, and prophesy against the forest of the south field; 26:020:047 And say to the forest of the south, Hear the word of the LORD; Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will kindle a fire in thee, and it shall devour every green tree in thee, and every dry tree: the flaming flame shall not be quenched, and all faces from the south to the north shall be burned therein. 26:020:048 And all flesh shall see that I the LORD have kindled it: it shall not be quenched. 26:020:049 Then said I, Ah Lord GOD! they say of me, Doth he not speak parables? 26:021:001 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 26:021:002 Son of man, set thy face toward Jerusalem, and drop thy word toward the holy places, and prophesy against the land of Israel, 26:021:003 And say to the land of Israel, Thus saith the LORD; Behold, I am against thee, and will draw forth my sword out of his sheath, and will cut off from thee the righteous and the wicked. 26:021:004 Seeing then that I will cut off from thee the righteous and the wicked, therefore shall my sword go forth out of his sheath against all flesh from the south to the north: 26:021:005 That all flesh may know that I the LORD have drawn forth my sword out of his sheath: it shall not return any more. 26:021:006 Sigh therefore, thou son of man, with the breaking of thy loins; and with bitterness sigh before their eyes. 26:021:007 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: behold, it cometh, and shall be brought to pass, saith the Lord GOD. 26:021:008 Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 26:021:009 Son of man, prophesy, and say, Thus saith the LORD; Say, A sword, a sword is sharpened, and also furbished: 26:021:010 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.
