³ and say to the land of Israel, Thus says the Lord: ^(A)Behold, I am against you and will draw ^(B)my sword from its sheath and ^(C)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. ^5 (D)And all flesh shall know that I am the Lord. I have drawn ^(E)my sword from its sheath; ^(F)it shall not be sheathed again.
