Ezekiel 21:14-16

Good News Translation

¹⁴ “Now, mortal man, prophesy. Clap your hands, and the sword will strike again and again. It is a sword that kills, a sword that terrifies^[a] and slaughters. ¹⁵ It makes my people lose courage and stumble. I am threatening their city with a sword^[b] that flashes like lightning and is ready to kill. ¹⁶ Cut to the right and the left, you sharp sword! Cut wherever you turn.^[c]
