Ezekiel 21:13-15
New American Standard Bible 1995
13 For there is a testing; and what if even the [a]rod which despises will be no more?” declares the Lord God.
14 “You therefore, son of man, prophesy and clap your hands together; and let the sword be (A)doubled the third time, the sword for the slain. It is the sword for the great one slain, which surrounds them, 15 that their (B)hearts may melt, and many (C)fall at all their (D)gates. I have given the glittering sword. Ah! It is made for striking like lightning, it is wrapped up in readiness for slaughter.

Ezekiel 21:13-15
New International Version
13 “‘Testing will surely come. And what if even the scepter, which the sword despises, does not continue? declares the Sovereign Lord.’
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)
