Ezekiel 21:14-16
Evangelical Heritage Version
14 Now you, son of man, prophesy.
Clap your hands together.[a]
Let the sword strike two times or even three.
It is a sword for those who are to be slain,
a sword for great slaughter,[b]
a sword that pursues even to the inner room,[c]
15 so that hearts melt,
and those who stumble will be many.
At all their gates I have placed the point[d] of the sword.
Yes, it is made to flash like lightning,
unsheathed for slaughter.
16 Slash to the right. Thrust to the left—
wherever your blade is directed.
