1. A message came to me from the Lord. He said,
2. "Son of man, turn your attention to Jerusalem. Preach against the temple. Prophesy against the land of Israel.
3. "Tell them, 'The Lord says, "I am against you. I will pull out my sword. I will cut off from you godly people and sinful people alike.
4. Because I am going to cut them off, my sword will be ready to use. I will strike everyone down from south to north.
