Ezekiel 21:15

that their hearts may melt , and many stumble . At all their gates I have given the glittering sword . Ah , it is made like lightning ; it is taken up for slaughter .

So that hearts may melt with fear and the fallen be many, I have stationed the sword for slaughter at all their gates. Look! It is forged to strike like lightning, it is grasped for slaughter.

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.
