14 Thou therefore, son of man, prophesy and smite [a]hand to hand, and let the sword be doubled: let the sword that hath killed, return the third time: it is the sword of the great slaughter entering into their privy chambers.

16 Get thee [b]alone: go to the right hand, or get thyself to the left hand, whithersoever thy face turneth.
