1 The word of the Lord came to me:
2 “Son of man, set your face toward Jerusalem and preach against the sanctuaries. Prophesy against the land of Israel
3 and say to the land of Israel, Thus says the Lord: Behold, I am against you and will draw my sword from its sheath and will cut off from you both righteous and wicked.
4 Because I will cut off from you both righteous and wicked, therefore my sword shall be drawn from its sheath against all flesh from south to north.
