9 “Son of man, prophesy and say, ‘Thus says the Lord!’ Say:
(A)‘A sword, a sword is sharpened
And also polished!
10 Sharpened to make a dreadful slaughter,
Polished to flash like lightning!
Should we then make mirth?
It despises the scepter of My son,
As it does all wood.
11 And He has given it to be polished,
That it may be handled;
This sword is sharpened, and it is polished
To be given into the hand of (B)the slayer.’
12 “Cry and wail, son of man;
For it will be against My people,
Against all the princes of Israel.
Terrors including the sword will be against My people;
Therefore (C)strike your thigh.
13 “Because it is (D)a testing,
And what if the sword despises even the scepter?
(E)The scepter shall be no more,”
says the Lord God.
14 “You therefore, son of man, prophesy,
And (F)strike your hands together.
The third time let the sword do double damage.
It is the sword that slays,
The sword that slays the great men,
That enters their (G)private chambers.
15 I have set the point of the sword against all their gates,
That the heart may melt and many may stumble.
Ah! (H)It is made bright;
It is grasped for slaughter:
