Ezekiel 21:22-24

New Catholic Bible

²² Into his right hand the arrow marked Jerusalem will fall. Here, then, he will issue the command for slaughter, sound the battle cry, post battering rams at the gates, cast up siege-ramps, and build siege-towers. ²³ The inhabitants who have sworn allegiance^[a] to him will believe that this is a false omen, but he will remind them of their guilt and take them captive.

²⁴ Therefore, thus says the Lord God: Because your open rebellion has caused us to remember your guilt, in that you have paraded your misdeeds and flaunted your sins in all your deeds, you shall be taken into captivity.
