Ezekiel 21:15-17

Contemporary English Version

¹⁵ They will lose all courage
    and stumble with fear.
My slaughtering sword
is waiting at every gate,
    flashing and ready to kill.^[a]
16 It will slash right and left,
    wherever the blade is pointed.
¹⁷ Then I will stop being angry,
and I will clap my hands
    in victory.
I, the Lord, have spoken.
