Ezekiel 21:15-17

International Standard Version

¹⁵ so that their hearts melt
    and the number of those who stumble increase.
I’ve set in place a slaughtering sword
    at the entrance to all their gates.
Oh, no! It’s made like lightning.
    It’s drawn to slaughter.
¹⁶ Be sharp!
    Attack on the right,
or parry to your left,
    wherever you point your sword.^[a]
17 I will also clap my hands;
    then my anger will subside.^[b]
        I, the Lord have spoken it.”
