Context Reading
13“For there is a trial. What if even the rod that condemns will be no more?” says the Lord Yahweh. 14“You therefore, son of man, prophesy,and strike your hands together.Let the sword be doubled the third time,the sword of the fatally wounded.It is the sword of the great one who is fatally wounded,which enters into their rooms. 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 yourselves together.Go to the right.Set yourselves in array.Go to the left,wherever your face is set. 17I will also strike my hands together,and I will cause my wrath to rest.I, Yahweh, have spoken it.”
