3and tell her that this is what the LORD says: ‘I am against you, and I will draw My sword from its sheath and cut off from you both the righteous and the wicked.
4Because I will cut off both the righteous and the wicked, My sword will be unsheathed against everyone from south to north.
5Then all flesh will know that I, the LORD, have taken My sword from its sheath, not to return it again.’
— Ezekiel 21:3-5
