Yahweh continues giving Ezekiel his message to the people of Jerusalem and of the land of Israel.

who are thrown onto the sword! They were my people

"those whom the sword has killed were my people"

but what if the scepter does not last

AT: "and it will be very frightening if the sword destroys the scepter and the scepter is gone." (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion)
