Ezekiel 21:11-13

American Standard Version

¹¹ And it is given to be furbished, that it may be handled: the sword, it is sharpened, yea, it is furbished, to give it into the hand of the slayer. ¹² Cry and wail, son of man; for it is upon my people, it is upon all the princes of Israel: ^[a]they are delivered over to the sword with my people; smite therefore upon thy thigh. ¹³ For there is a trial; and ^[b]what if even the rod that contemneth shall be no more? saith the Lord Jehovah.
