Cry and howl, son of man!
For it has come among my people;
Come among all the princes of Israel!
Victims of the sword are they, they and my people;
Therefore smite upon thy thigh!
It shall not be, saith Jehovah the Lord.
(iii) Vv. 19, 20.
But, thou son of man, prophesy, and smite hand on hand;
Let the sword be doubled and tripled (?).
