Ezekiel 21:13-15
Holman Christian Standard Bible
13 Surely it will be a trial!
And what if the sword despises even the scepter?
The scepter will not continue.[a]
This is the declaration of the Lord God.
14 Therefore, son of man, prophesy
and clap your hands together.(A)
Let the sword strike two times, even three.
It is a sword for massacre,
a sword for great massacre—
it surrounds[b] them!
15 I have appointed a sword(B) for slaughter[c]
at all their gates,
so that their hearts may melt
and many may stumble.
Yes! It is ready to flash like lightning;(C)
it is drawn[d] for slaughter.
