12 “Cry and wail, son of man;
For it will be against My people,
Against all the princes of Israel.
Terrors including the sword will be against My people;
Therefore astrike your thigh.
For it will be against My people,
Against all the princes of Israel.
Terrors including the sword will be against My people;
Therefore astrike your thigh.
13 “Because it is aa testing,
And what if the sword despises even the scepter?
bThe scepter shall be no more,” says the Lord God.
And what if the sword despises even the scepter?
bThe scepter shall be no more,” says the Lord God.
14 “You therefore, son of man, prophesy,
And astrike 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 bprivate chambers.
And astrike 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 bprivate chambers.
15 I have set the point of the sword against all their gates,
That the heart may melt and many may stumble.
Ah! aIt is made bright;
It is grasped for slaughter:
That the heart may melt and many may stumble.
Ah! aIt is made bright;
It is grasped for slaughter:
17 “I also will abeat My fists together,
And bI will cause My fury to rest;
I, the Lord, have spoken.”
And bI will cause My fury to rest;
I, the Lord, have spoken.”
18 The word of the Lord came to me again, saying:
19 “And son of man, appoint for yourself two ways for the sword of the king of Babylon to go; both of them shall go from the same land. Make a sign; put it at the head of the road to the city.
