For thus saith the Lord Jehovah, the Holy One of Israel: In returning and rest shall ye be saved, in quietness and confidence shall be your strength; but ye would not.

Cry and howl, son of man; for it shall be against my people, it shall be against all the princes of Israel: they are given up to the sword along with my people: smite therefore upon the thigh. For the trial is made; and what if even the contemning sceptre shall be no more? saith the Lord Jehovah. And thou, son of man, prophesy, and smite thy hands together; for the strokes of the sword shall be doubled the third time: it is the sword of the slain, the sword that hath slain the great one, which encompasseth them privily. In order that the heart may melt, and the stumbling-blocks be multiplied, I have set the threatening sword against all their gates: ah! it is made glittering, it is whetted for the slaughter. Gather up strength, go to the right hand, turn thee, go to the left, whithersoever thy face is appointed. And I myself will smite my hands together, and I will satisfy my fury: I Jehovah have spoken it.
