Ezekiel 21:10-12
1599 Geneva Bible
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.
12 Cry and howl, son of man: for this shall come to my people, and it shall come unto all the princes of Israel: the terrors of the sword shall be upon my people, [e]smite therefore upon thy thigh.
