Babylon, the Sword of God
14“You therefore, son of man, prophesy, And strike 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 private chambers.
15I have set the point of the sword against all their gates, That the heart may melt and many may stumble. Ah! It is made bright; It is grasped for slaughter:
16“Swordsat the ready! Thrust right! Set your blade! Thrust left— Wherever your edge is ordered!
17“I also will beat My fists together, And I will cause My fury to rest; I, the Lord, have spoken.”
Ezekiel 21:14-17 (NKJV)
