Ezekiel 21:12

A Vision Of The Avenging Sword Of Yahweh

¹¹ He hath put his sword to the dighting, that good hold may be taken of it. This sword is sharpened and dight, that it may be given into the hand of the manslayer.' ¹² Cry, O thou son of man, and howl: for this sword shall smite my people, and all the rulers in Israel, which with my people shall be slain down to the ground through this sword. Smite therefore thou upon thy thigh, for it is gone forth to make a trial. ¹³ And what a trial shall this be, when even my scepter shall be reproved? That shall not be, sayeth the LORD God.
