Bible verse
Slash to the right; set your blade to the left—wherever your blade is directed.
Ezekiel 21:16 · BSB
The verses around it, from Ezekiel 21.
12 Cry out and wail, O son of man, for the sword is wielded against My people; it is against all the princes of Israel! They are tossed to the sword with My people; therefore strike your thigh.
13 Surely testing will come! And what if even the scepter, which the sword despises, does not continue?’ declares the Lord GOD.
14 ‘So then, son of man, prophesy and strike your hands together. Let the sword strike two times, even three. It is a sword that slays, a sword of great slaughter closing in on every side!
15 So that their hearts may melt and many may stumble, I have appointed at all their gates a sword for slaughter. Yes, it is ready to flash like lightning; it is drawn for slaughter.
16 Slash to the right; set your blade to the left—wherever your blade is directed.
17 I too will strike My hands together, and I will satisfy My wrath.’ I, the LORD, have spoken.”
18 Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
19 “Now you, son of man, mark out two roads for the sword of the king of Babylon to take, both starting from the same land. And make a signpost where the road branches off to each city.
20 Mark out one road for the sword to come against Rabbah of the Ammonites, and another against Judah into fortified Jerusalem.
