1Yo, the Lord hit me up, saying,

2Bro, set your gaze on Jerusalem, spill the tea on the holy spots, and prophesy against the land of Israel,

3Tell the land of Israel, "Listen up, the Lord's got beef with you; I’m pulling my sword out and cutting off the good and the bad."

4So since I’m cutting off both the good and the bad, my sword's gonna pop off from the south to the north against everyone.

5Everyone's gonna know that I, the Lord, have drawn my sword; it ain't going back in the sheath, no cap.

6So, my dude, sigh like you just got hit with feels; show them that bitter vibe.

7When they ask, "Why you sighing?" you gotta say, "It’s the news, fam; it’s coming, and it’s gonna hit hard—hearts melting, hands weak, spirits fainting, knees like water—trust, it’s happening," says the Lord God.

8Again, the Lord slid into my DMs, saying,

9Bro, prophesy and say, "The Lord says: A sword, a sword is getting sharpened and polished up."

10It's sharpened for some serious business; it's shiny, but should we be laughing? It’s disrespecting my son like some random tree.

11God’s got this sword all prepped and sharp, ready to hand it to the slayer. It’s vibin’ for sure.

12Yo, son of man, it’s time to cry and howl! The sword's gonna hit my peeps and the princes of Israel hard, so smack that thigh, fr.

13This is a test, and what if the sword even goes after the rod? It’s a wrap, says the Lord God.

14So, son of man, prophesy, clap those hands, and let’s double down on that sword for the slain. It’s coming for the big shots in their secret spots.

15I’m aiming this sword at all their gates, making their hearts weak and their ruins stack up. It’s shining bright and ready for the slaughter, no cap.

16Pick a side, right or left, wherever your face is lookin’.

17I’m gonna clap my hands too, and chill my fury. I, the Lord, said it, periodt.

18The Lord hit me up again, saying,

19Yo, son of man, set up two paths for the sword of Babylon to come through. Both are coming from the same land, so pick a spot at the start of the way to the city.

20Set a way for the sword to roll up to Rabbath of the Ammonites and to Judah in Jerusalem, the fortified place.

21The king of Babylon was chillin' at the crossroads, trying to vibe with some divination. He made his arrows pop and consulted some images, peeped the liver, no cap.

22On his right, he was divining for Jerusalem, picking captains, getting loud for the slaughter, and ready to pop off with battering rams at the gates, building up a fort, you feel?

23It’s gonna feel like a sus divination to them, especially those who swore oaths. But he’ll remember their wrongs, and they’re gonna get caught, fr.

24So, the Lord God’s like, “Since you’ve made your sins known, and your transgressions are out in the open, your wrongs are gonna be seen. Just know, you’ll be caught, periodt.”

25And you, wicked prince of Israel, your time has come, when the wrongs are about to end, bet.

26The Lord God says, “Take off that crown and diadem; things ain’t gonna be the same. Lift up the low-key, and bring down the high-key.”

27I’m about to flip it, flip it, flip it, and it won’t be the same until the one who deserves it comes; then I’ll hand it over, no cap.

28And you, son of man, prophesy about the Ammonites and their drama; say, “The sword is drawn, ready to slay, and it’s all shiny and ready to consume.”

29While they see nonsense from you, while they’re divining lies, they’re gonna bring you down with the slain, of the wicked, whose time is up, fr.

30Am I gonna put it back in its sheath? I’ll judge you where you were made, in the land where you were born, periodt.

31I'ma unleash my anger on you, blow fire vibes your way, and hand you over to some savage dudes who know how to wreck things.

32You gonna be fuel for the flames; your blood's gonna be all over the place, and no one’s gonna remember you: that's the word from the Lord, no cap.

1And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,

2Son of man, set thy face toward Jerusalem, and drop thy word toward the holy places, and prophesy against the land of Israel,

3And 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.

4Seeing 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:

5That all flesh may know that I the Lord have drawn forth my sword out of his sheath: it shall not return any more.

6Sigh therefore, thou son of man, with the breaking of thy loins; and with bitterness sigh before their eyes.

7And 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.

8Again the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,

9Son of man, prophesy, and say, Thus saith the Lord; Say, A sword, a sword is sharpened, and also furbished:

10It 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.

11And he hath given it to be furbished, that it may be handled: this sword is sharpened, and it is furbished, to give it into the hand of the slayer.

12Cry and howl, son of man: for it shall be upon my people, it shall be upon all the princes of Israel: terrors by reason of the sword shall be upon my people: smite therefore upon thy thigh.

13Because it is a trial, and what if the sword contemn even the rod? it shall be no more, saith the Lord God.

14Thou therefore, son of man, prophesy, and smite thine hands together, and let the sword be doubled the third time, the sword of the slain: it is the sword of the great men that are slain, which entereth into their privy chambers.

15I have set the point of the sword against all their gates, that their heart may faint, and their ruins be multiplied: ah! it is made bright, it is wrapped up for the slaughter.

16Go thee one way or other, either on the right hand, or on the left, whithersoever thy face is set.

17I will also smite mine hands together, and I will cause my fury to rest: I the Lord have said it.

18The word of the Lord came unto me again, saying,

19Also, thou son of man, appoint thee two ways, that the sword of the king of Babylon may come: both twain shall come forth out of one land: and choose thou a place, choose it at the head of the way to the city.

20Appoint a way, that the sword may come to Rabbath of the Ammonites, and to Judah in Jerusalem the defenced.

21For the king of Babylon stood at the parting of the way, at the head of the two ways, to use divination: he made his arrows bright, he consulted with images, he looked in the liver.

22At his right hand was the divination for Jerusalem, to appoint captains, to open the mouth in the slaughter, to lift up the voice with shouting, to appoint battering rams against the gates, to cast a mount, and to build a fort.

23And it shall be unto them as a false divination in their sight, to them that have sworn oaths: but he will call to remembrance the iniquity, that they may be taken.

24Therefore thus saith the Lord God; Because ye have made your iniquity to be remembered, in that your transgressions are discovered, so that in all your doings your sins do appear; because, I say, that ye are come to remembrance, ye shall be taken with the hand.

25And thou, profane wicked prince of Israel, whose day is come, when iniquity shall have an end,

26Thus saith the Lord God; Remove the diadem, and take off the crown: this shall not be the same: exalt him that is low, and abase him that is high.

27I will overturn, overturn, overturn, it: and it shall be no more, until he come whose right it is; and I will give it him.

28And thou, son of man, prophesy and say, Thus saith the Lord God concerning the Ammonites, and concerning their reproach; even say thou, The sword, the sword is drawn: for the slaughter it is furbished, to consume because of the glittering:

29Whiles they see vanity unto thee, whiles they divine a lie unto thee, to bring thee upon the necks of them that are slain, of the wicked, whose day is come, when their iniquity shall have an end.

30Shall I cause it to return into his sheath? I will judge thee in the place where thou wast created, in the land of thy nativity.

31And I will pour out mine indignation upon thee, I will blow against thee in the fire of my wrath, and deliver thee into the hand of brutish men, and skilful to destroy.

32Thou shalt be for fuel to the fire; thy blood shall be in the midst of the land; thou shalt be no more remembered: for I the Lord have spoken it.
