1 The Lord said:
2 Ezekiel, son of man, condemn the places in Jerusalem where people worship. Warn everyone in Israel
3 that I am about to punish them. I will pull out my sword and have it ready to kill everyone, whether good or evil.
4 From south to north, people will die,
5 knowing that my sword will never be put away.
6 Ezekiel, groan in sorrow and despair so that everyone can hear you.
