Ezekiel 21:14-16

New American Standard Bible 1995

¹⁴ “You therefore, son of man, prophesy and clap your hands together; 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 that their ^(B)hearts may melt, and many ^(C)fall at all their ^(D)gates. I have given the glittering sword. Ah! It is made for striking like lightning, it is wrapped up in readiness for slaughter. ^16 [a]Show yourself sharp, go to the right; set yourself; go to the left, wherever your ^[b]edge is appointed.
