Ezekiel 21:14-16
American Standard Version
14 Thou therefore, son of man, prophesy, and smite thy hands together; and let the sword be doubled the third time, the sword of the deadly wounded: it is the sword of the great one that is deadly wounded, which [a]entereth into their chambers. 15 I have set the [b]threatening sword against all their gates, that their heart may melt, and their stumblings be multiplied: ah! it is made as lightning, it is pointed for slaughter. 16 [c]Gather thee together, go to the right, set thyself in array, go to the left, [d]whithersoever thy face is set.

Ezekiel 21:14-16
New International Version
14 “So then, son of man, prophesy
and strike your hands(A) together.
Let the sword strike twice,
even three times.
It is a sword for slaughter—
a sword for great slaughter,
closing in on them from every side.(B)
15 So that hearts may melt with fear(C)
and the fallen be many,
I have stationed the sword for slaughter[a]
at all their gates.
Look! It is forged to strike like lightning,
it is grasped for slaughter.(D)
16 Slash to the right, you sword,
then to the left,
wherever your blade is turned.
