Yechezkel 21:15-22 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

15. [21:20] I have set the point of the cherev against all their she'arim, that their lev may faint, and many may stumble. Ah! It is made for flashing, it is wrapped for slaughter.

16. [21:21] Go thee one way or the other, either on right hand, or on left, wherever thy face is appointed.

17. [21:22] I will also strike Mine palm together, and I will appease My chemah (wrath). I Hashem have said it.

18. [21:23] The Devar Hashem came unto me again, saying,

19. [21:24] Also, thou, ben adam, appoint thee two drakhim, that the cherev of Melech Bavel may come; both two shall come forth out of one land; and make a sign, put it at the rosh derech (crossroads) to the Ir.

20. [21:25] Appoint a derech, that the cherev may come to Rabbah Bnei Ammon, and to Yehudah in fortified Yerushalayim.

21. [21:26] For Melech Bavel stood at the fork in the derech, at the rosh of the two drakhim, to use divination; he shook his khitzim (arrows), he consulted with teraphim, he looked in the liver.

22. [21:27] At his right hand was the kesem (divination) for Yerushalayim, to set up battering rams, to call for a slaughter, to lift up the voice with teru'ah (shouting), to appoint battering rams against the she'arim, to heap up a siege mound, and to build a siege work.
