Ezekiel 21:14-17 ▼

14 “Son of man, prophesy to them and clap your hands. Then take the sword and brandish it twice, even three times, to symbolize the great massacre, the great massacre facing them on every side.

15 Let their hearts melt with terror, for the sword glitters at every gate. It flashes like lightning and is polished for slaughter!

16 O sword, slash to the right, then slash to the left, wherever you will, wherever you want.

17 I, too, will clap my hands, and I will satisfy my fury. I, the LORD, have spoken!”
