← Ezekiel 21:14	Ezekiel 21:15 (KJV)	Ezekiel 21:16 →
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.	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.	Go thee one way or other, [either] on the right hand, [or] on the left, whithersoever thy face [is] set.
