Ezekiel 21:18-20

Tree of Life Version

¹⁸ For it is a testing. What if they scorn even the rod? It must not be!” It is a declaration of Adonai. ¹⁹ You, son of man, prophesy. Strike your hands together. The sword will strike twice, even three times, a sword for the slain, a sword for a great slaughter—it surrounds them! ²⁰ So that their hearts will melt and many will stumble and fall, I have set the point of the sword against all their gates. Alas! It is made for lightning, it is polished for slaughter.
