Ezekiel 21:14-16

GOD’S WORD Translation

¹⁴ So prophesy, son of man.
Clap your hands!
Let the sword strike again and again.
It’s the sword for killing.
It’s the sword for killing many people.
It’s the sword that surrounds them.
¹⁵ I have appointed my sword to slaughter people at all their gates
so that their hearts will sink and many will die.
Yes! It’s ready to flash like lightning.
It’s polished to kill.
¹⁶ Sword, cut to the right.
Cut to the left
or wherever your blade is turned.
