Ezekiel 21:14-16
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
14 And you, mortal, prophesy;
strike hand to hand.
Let the sword fall twice, thrice;
it is a sword for killing.
A sword for great slaughter—
it surrounds them;(A)
15 therefore hearts melt,
and many stumble.
At all their gates I have set
the point[a] of the sword.
Ah! It is made for flashing;
it is drawn for slaughter.
16 Attack to the right!
Engage to the left!
—wherever your edge is directed.
