And (A)strike your hands together.
The third time let the sword do double damage.
It is the sword that slays,
The sword that slays the great men,
That enters their (B)private chambers.
15 I have set the point of the sword against all their gates,
That the heart may melt and many may stumble.
Ah! (C)It is made bright;
It is grasped for slaughter:

a sword for great slaughter,
closing in on them from every side.(B)
15 So that hearts may melt with fear(C)
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.(D)
