12 Shout and yell, human being.
    This is because the sword is against my people.
    It is against all the rulers of Israel.
They will be killed by the sword,
    along with my people.
    So beat your chest in sadness.

13 “‘The test will come. And Judah, who is hated by the armies of Babylon, will not last, says the Lord God.’

14 “So, human being, prophesy.
    And clap your hands.
Let the sword hit
    two or three times.
It is the sword for killing.
    It is the sword for much killing.
    This sword surrounds the people.
