15 I have set the point of the sword against all their gates,
That the heart may melt and many may stumble.
Ah! (A)It is made bright;
It is grasped for slaughter:

16 “Swords(B)[a] at the ready!
Thrust right!
Set your blade!
Thrust left—
Wherever your [b]edge is ordered!

17 “I also will (C)beat My fists together,
And (D)I will cause My fury to rest;
I, the Lord, have spoken.”
