Ezekiel 21:22-24

Holman Christian Standard Bible

²² The answer marked^[a] Jerusalem appears in his right hand, indicating that he should set up battering rams,^(A) give the order to^[b] slaughter, raise a battle cry, set battering rams against the gates, build a ramp, and construct a siege wall. ²³ It will seem like false divination in the eyes of those who have sworn an oath to the Babylonians,^[c](B) but it will draw attention to their guilt so that they will be captured.

²⁴ “Therefore, this is what the Lord God says: Because you have drawn attention to your guilt, exposing your transgressions, so that your sins are revealed in all your actions, since you have done this, you will be captured by them.
