EZEKIEL 21:12 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“Cry and howl, son of man: for it shall be upon my people, it shall be upon all the princes of Israel: terrors by reason of the sword shall be upon my people: smite therefore upon thy thigh.”
Cry and wail, O son of man, for the sword comes upon My people, upon all the princes of Israel; terrors have come to them with the sword. Ezekiel is commanded to wail in distress over the judgment falling upon the people and their leaders. The princes' vulnerability to the sword establishes that no human status or position protects against divine judgment. The terror accompanying the sword emphasizes the psychological horror of impending destruction.
