Ezekiel 21:4

Because I will cut off from you both the righteous and the wicked, my sword will go out from its sheath against everyone ¹  from the south ²  to the north.

Because I am going to cut off the righteous and the wicked, my sword will be unsheathed against everyone from south to north.

"Because I will cut off from you the righteous and the wicked, therefore My sword will go forth from its sheath against all flesh from south to north.

Yes, I will not spare even the righteous! I will make a clean sweep throughout the land from south to north.

Because I'm treating everyone the same, good and bad, everyone from south to north is going to feel my sword!

Because I am going to have the upright and the evil cut off from you, for this cause my sword will go out from its cover against all flesh from the south to the north:

Because I will cut off from you both righteous and wicked, therefore my sword shall go out of its sheath against all flesh from south to north;

"Because I will cut off both righteous and wicked from you, therefore My sword shall go out of its sheath against all flesh from south to north,

Because I will cut off from you both the righteous and the wicked, my sword will go out from its sheath against everyone ¹  from the south ²  to the north.

¹ tn Heb “all flesh” (also in the following verse).
