Ezekiel 21:12-14

Common English Bible

¹² Human one, cry aloud, and wail,
    for it comes against my people,
    against all of Israel’s princes,
        handed over to the sword along with my people.
    Therefore, strike your thigh. ¹³ He’s testing.
When even the rod rejects,
    will it not certainly happen?^[a]
    This is what the Lord God says.
