Ezekiel 21:9-11
1599 Geneva Bible
9 Son of man, prophesy, and say, Thus saith the Lord God, say, A sword, a sword both sharp and furbished.
10 It is sharpened to make a sore slaughter, and it is furbished that it may [a]glitter: how shall we rejoice? for it contemneth the [b]rod of my son, as [c]all other trees.
11 And he hath given it to be furbished, that he may handle it: this sword is sharp, and is furbished that he may give it into the hand of the [d]slayer.
