Ezekiel 21:14-16

International Children’s Bible

¹⁴ “So, human being, prophesy.
    And clap your hands.
Let the sword hit
    two or three times.
It is the sword for killing.
    It is the sword for much killing.
    This sword surrounds the people.
¹⁵ Their hearts will melt with fear.
    And many people will die.
I have placed the killing sword
    at all their gates.
Oh! The sword is made to flash like lightning.
    It is held, ready for killing.
¹⁶ Sword, cut on the right side.
    Then cut on the left side.
    Cut anywhere your blade is turned.
