Ezekiel 21:14-16

New American Standard Bible

¹⁴ “You therefore, son of man, prophesy and clap your hands; and let the sword be ^(A)doubled the third time, the sword for the slain. It is the sword for the great one slain, which surrounds them, ¹⁵ so that their ^(B)hearts will waver, and many ^(C)fall at all their ^(D)gates. I have granted the slaughter of the sword. Oh! It is made for striking like lightning, it is sharpened in readiness for slaughter. ¹⁶ Prove yourself sharp, go to the right; set yourself; go to the left, wherever your ^[a]edge is ordered.
