Ezekiel 21:22-24
21:22 Into his right hand
comes the portent for Jerusalem – to set up battering rams, to give the signal
for slaughter, to shout out the battle cry,
to set up battering rams against the gates, to erect a siege ramp, to build a siege wall.
21:23 But those in Jerusalem
will view it as a false omen. They have sworn solemn oaths,
but the king of Babylon
will accuse them of violations
in order to seize them.
21:24 “Therefore this is what the sovereign Lord says: ‘Because you have brought up your own guilt by uncovering your transgressions and revealing your sins through all your actions, for this reason you will be taken by force.
