Ezekiel 21:15-17

Common English Bible

¹⁵     to make hearts shudder,
    to make many stumble and fall.
I’ve set the slaughtering sword
    against all their gates.
Oh! It’s crafted to flash like lightning,
    polished for slaughter!
¹⁶ Stab again and again! Plunge right,
    plunge left, wherever your edge goes.
¹⁷ It is I who strike hand to hand!
    I’ll satisfy my wrath! I, the Lord, have spoken.
