12Cry and wail, son of man; for it is upon my people, it is upon all the princes of Israel: they are delivered over to the sword with my people; smite therefore upon thy thigh.
13For there is a trial; and what if even the rod that contemneth shall be no more? saith the Lord Jehovah.
14Thou therefore, son of man, prophesy, and smite thy hands together; and let the sword be doubled the third time, the sword of the deadly wounded: it is the sword of the great one that is deadly wounded, which entereth into their chambers.
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 thee together, go to the right, set thyself in array, go to the left, whithersoever thy face is set.
17I will also smite my hands together, and I will cause my wrath to rest: I, Jehovah, have spoken it.
