Ezekiel 21:16
Verse 16 of 32. The 21st of 48 chapters in Ezekiel, in The Major Prophets.
12Cry and wail, son of man; for it is on my people. It is on all the princes of Israel. They are delivered over to the sword with my people. Therefore beat your thigh.
13“For there is a trial. What if even the rod that condemns will be no more?” says the Lord GOD.
14“You therefore, son of man, prophesy, and strike your hands together. Let the sword be doubled the third time, the sword of the fatally wounded. It is the sword of the great one who is fatally wounded, which enters into their rooms.
15I have set the threatening sword against all their gates, that their heart may melt, and their stumblings be multiplied. Ah! It is made as lightning. It is pointed for slaughter.
16Gather yourselves together. Go to the right. Set yourselves in array. Go to the left, wherever your face is set.
17I will also strike my hands together, and I will cause my wrath to rest. I, the LORD, have spoken it.”
18The LORD’s word came to me again, saying,
19“Also, you son of man, appoint two ways, that the sword of the king of Babylon may come. They both will come out of one land, and mark out a place. Mark it out at the head of the way to the city.
20You shall appoint a way for the sword to come to Rabbah of the children of Ammon, and to Judah in Jerusalem the fortified.
