12 Son of man, cry out and weep.
    The sword is against my people.
    It is against all the princes of Israel.
It will kill them
    along with the rest of my people.
    So beat your chest in sorrow.

13 “You can be sure that testing will come. Why does the sword look down on the scepter? Because even the scepter will not continue to rule,” announces the Lord and King.

14 “Son of man, prophesy.
    Clap your hands.
Let the sword strike twice.
    Let it strike even three times.
It is a sword to kill people.
    It is a sword to kill many people.
    It is closing in on them from every side.
