Ezekiel 21:14-16

Expanded Bible

¹⁴ “So, ·human [^Tson of man; 2:1], prophesy
    and ·clap [strike together] your hands [^Ca sign of scorn].
Let the sword strike
    two or three times.
It is a sword meant for ·killing [slaughter],
    a sword meant for ·much killing [great slaughter].
    This sword ·surrounds [or closes in on] ·the people to be killed [^Lthem].
¹⁵ Their hearts will ·melt with fear [^Lmelt],
    and many people will ·die [stumble; fall].
I have placed the ·killing sword [sword for slaughter]
    at all their city gates.
Oh! The sword is made to flash like lightning.
    It is ·held [drawn], ready for killing.
¹⁶ Sword, ·cut [slash; cut sharp] on the right side;
    then ·cut on [swing; ^Lput to] the left side.
    Cut anywhere your ·blade [or face] is turned.
