Therefore strike your thigh in grief.^(A) ¹³Surely it will be a trial! And what if the sword despises even the scepter? The scepter will not continue.”^[a] This is the declaration of the Lord God.

¹⁴“So you, son of man, prophesy and clap your hands together:^(B)

Let the sword strike two times, even three.
It is a sword for massacre,
a sword for great massacre—
it surrounds^[b] them!
