26:021:011 And he hath given it to be furbished, that it may be handled: this sword is sharpened, and it is furbished, to give it into the hand of the slayer.
26:021:012 Cry and howl, son of man: for it shall be upon my people, it shall be upon all the princes of Israel: terrors by reason of the sword shall be upon my people: smite therefore upon thy thigh.
26:021:013 Because it is a trial, and what if the sword contemn even the rod? it shall be no more, saith the Lord GOD.
26:021:014 Thou therefore, son of man, prophesy, and smite thine hands together and let the sword be doubled the third time, the sword of the slain: it is the sword of the great men that are slain, which entereth into their privy chambers.
26:021:015 I have set the point of the sword against all their gates, that their heart may faint, and their ruins be multiplied: ah! it is made bright, it is wrapped up for the slaughter.
26:021:016 Go thee one way or other, either on the right hand, or on the left, whithersoever thy face is set.
26:021:017 I will also smite mine hands together, and I will cause my fury to rest: I the LORD have said it.
26:021:018 The word of the LORD came unto me again, saying,
26:021:019 Also, thou son of man, appoint thee two ways, that the sword of the king of Babylon may come: both twain shall come forth out of one land: and choose thou a place, choose it at the head of the way to the city.
26:021:020 Appoint a way, that the sword may come to Rabbath of the Ammonites, and to Judah in Jerusalem the defenced.
