Ezekiel 21:13-15
English Standard Version
13 For it will not be a testing—what could it do if you despise (A)the rod?”[a] declares the Lord God.
14 “As for you, (B)son of man, prophesy. (C)Clap your hands and let the sword come down twice, (D)yes, three times,[b] the sword for those to be slain. It is the sword for the great slaughter, which surrounds them, 15 that their hearts may melt, and many stumble.[c] At all their gates I have given the glittering sword. Ah, it is made like lightning; (E)it is taken up[d] for slaughter.
