Ezekiel 21:14-16
1599 Geneva Bible
14 Thou therefore, son of man, prophesy and smite [a]hand to hand, and let the sword be doubled: let the sword that hath killed, return the third time: it is the sword of the great slaughter entering into their privy chambers.
15 I have brought the fear of the sword into all their gates to make their heart to faint, and to multiply their ruins. Ah, it is made bright, and it is dressed for the slaughter.
16 Get thee [b]alone: go to the right hand, or get thyself to the left hand, whithersoever thy face turneth.

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.
