Ezekiel 21:10-12
Lexham English Bible

10 It is sharpened to slaughter a slaughter, polished to flash like lightning![a] Or will we rejoice?[b] A rod, my son, is despising every tree.[c] 11 And he gives it to be polished, to be seized by the hand.[d] It is sharpened—a sword—and it is polished to give it into the hand of the killer. 12 Cry and wail, son of man,[e] for it is against my people; it is against all of the princes of Israel. They are thrown to the sword with my people; therefore strike your thigh.[f]
