Ezekiel 21:15-17
New International Version
15 So that hearts may melt with fear(A)
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.(B)
16 Slash to the right, you sword,
then to the left,
wherever your blade is turned.
17 I too will strike my hands(C) together,
and my wrath(D) will subside.
I the Lord have spoken.(E)”
