cry aloud to them;
wave the hand for dthem to enter
the gates of the nobles.

and have summoned my mighty men to execute my anger,
my proudly exulting ones. ▼

as of a great multitude!
The sound of an uproar of kingdoms,
of nations gathering together!
gThe Lord of hosts is mustering
a host for battle.
5 hThey come from a distant land,
from the end of the heavens,
the Lord and the weapons of his indignation,
to destroy the whole land. ▼

And nbegin at my sanctuary.” So they began with the elders who were before the house. 7Then he said to them, o“Defile the house, and fill the courts with the slain. Go out.” So they went out and struck in the city.Ezekiel 14:17
