Ezekiel 21:15 in context
13Because it is a trial, and what if the sword contemn even the rod? it shall be no more, saith the Lord GOD.
14Thou 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.
15I 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.

17I will also smite mine hands together, and I will cause my fury to rest: I the LORD have said it.
