# I will draw my sword from its sheath and cut off both the righteous person and the wicked person from you "I am opposed to you, and it will be as though I pull my sword from its sheath to kill both the righteous and the wicked people among you". Judah has refused to learn from their punishment, so God is about to destroy the nation in war. # the righteous person and the wicked person "righteous people and wicked people." # sheath something that holds and covers a sword when no one is using it # cut off "kill"
