e espada, une as tuas forças, vira-te para a direita; prepara-te, vira-te para a esquerda, para onde quer que o teu rosto se dirigir.

23-24 Their worship will be vain. (3)
25-27 That church will come to its end when the Lord comes. (1, 3)

Ezekiel 21:14-17
14
You therefore, son of man, prophesy, and strike your hands together; and let the sword be doubled the third time, the sword of the deadly wounded: it is the sword of the great one who is deadly wounded, which enters into their rooms.
15
I have set the threatening sword against all their gates, that their heart may melt, and their stumblings be multiplied: ah! it is made as lightning, it is pointed for slaughter.
16
Gather yourselves together, go to the right, set yourselves in array, go to the left, wherever your face is set.
17
I will also strike my hands together, and I will cause my wrath to rest: I, Yahweh, have spoken it.
