It is a sword for slaughter—
a sword for great slaughter,
closing in on them from every side.(F)
15 So that hearts may melt with fear(G)
and the fallen be many,
I have stationed the sword for slaughter[a]
at all their gates.
Look! It is forged to strike like lightning,
it is grasped for slaughter.(H)

then to the left,
wherever your blade is turned.
