Ezekiel 21:10-12

World English Bible

¹⁰ It is sharpened that it may make a slaughter.
    It is polished that it may be as lightning.
Should we then make mirth?
    The rod of my son condemns every tree.
¹¹ It is given to be polished,
    that it may be handled.
The sword is sharpened.
    Yes, it is polished
    to give it into the hand of the killer.”’
¹² Cry and wail, son of man;
    for it is on my people.
    It is on all the princes of Israel.
They are delivered over to the sword with my people.
    Therefore beat your thigh.
