Thus says the Lord Yahweh: 'Clap your hand and stamp with your foot, and say, "Alas, for all of the detestable things of the evil of the house of Israel, {because of which} they will fall with the sword, with the famine, and with the plague.

And I saw six men coming from the direction of the Upper Gate, which faces north, each with a war club in his hand. There was another man among them, clothed in linen, with writing equipment at his side. They came and stood beside the bronze altar.

And you, son of man, prophesy {and clap your hands}. And the sword will {strike twice}; let it happen a third time. It [is] a sword of the dead, [the] sword of the great dead that [is] surrounding them,

I will also strike My hands together, and I will cause My wrath to rest. I the Lord have spoken.”

“Now look, I clap My hands together against the dishonest profit you have made and against the blood shed among you.

For thus saith My Lord Yahweh, Because thou didst clap thy hands and stamp with thy foot, - and didst rejoice with all thy contempt in thy soul, against the so of Israel.

And their head they shall not shave, or long hair they shall not let grow; short they shall clip their heads.
