“Mortal man, prophesy. Tell the people what I, the Lord, am saying:

A sword, a sword is sharpened and polished.
10 It is sharpened to kill,
    polished to flash like lightning.
There can be no rejoicing,
    for my people have disregarded every warning and punishment.[a]
11 The sword is being polished,
    to make it ready for use.
It is sharpened and polished,
    to be put in the hands of a killer.
