Ezekiel 21:12-14

GOD’S WORD Translation

¹² “ ‘Cry and mourn, son of man,
because the sword will be used against my people
and against all the princes of Israel.
I will throw the princes and my people on the sword.
So beat your breast, and grieve.
¹³ Testing will surely come.
What if you refuse to be disciplined again?
Won’t you be tested? declares the Almighty Lord.
¹⁴ So prophesy, son of man.
Clap your hands!
Let the sword strike again and again.
It’s the sword for killing.
It’s the sword for killing many people.
It’s the sword that surrounds them.
