Ezekiel 21:9-11

Modern English Version

⁹Son of man, prophesy and say, Thus says the Lord! Say:

A sword, a sword is sharpened
and also furbished!
¹⁰It is sharpened to make a slaughter;
it is furbished so that it may glitter like lightning.

Should we then make cheer, the rod of My son despising every tree?

¹¹He has given it to be furbished,
that it may be handled;
the sword is sharpened,
and it is furbished to give it into the hand of the slayer.
