Ezekiel 21:15-17

Modern English Version

¹⁵ That their hearts may faint,
    and many fall at all their gates,
    I have given the glittering sword.
Ah! It is made for striking like lightning;
    it is wrapped up for the slaughter.
¹⁶ Show yourself sharp, go to the right hand.
    Set yourself. Go to the left hand,
    wherever your edge is set.
¹⁷ I will also clap My hands together,
    and I will cause My fury to rest;
I the Lord have spoken.
