What does Ezekiel 21:12-16 mean? Commentary, explanation and study verse by verse.
Cry and howl, son of man: for it shall be upon my people, it shall be upon all the princes of Israel: terrorsc by reason of the sword shall be upon my people: smite therefore upon thy thigh.
Because it is a trial,d and what if the sword contemn even the rod? it shall be no more, saith the Lord GOD.
Thou therefore, son of man, prophesy, and smite thine handse 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 pointf 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.
