⁸ And the word of the Lord came to me: ^9 (A)“Son of man, prophesy and say, Thus says the Lord, say:

(Or ^(E)shall we rejoice? You have despised the rod, my son, ^(F)with everything of wood.)^{[a] 11} So the sword is given to be polished, that it may be grasped in the hand. It is sharpened and polished ^(G)to be given into the hand of the slayer.
