Ezekiel 21:15-17

GOD’S WORD Translation

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.
¹⁷ I will also clap my hands and rest from my fury.
I, the Lord, have spoken.’ ”
