Ezekiel 21:14-16

Tree of Life Version

¹⁴ “Son of man, prophesy and say, thus says Adonai, and say: ‘A sword! A sword! Sharpened and also polished! ¹⁵ Sharpened to slaughter ruthlessly! Polished so it will flash like lightning! Or should we rejoice? It is the rod,^[a] My son—despising every tree! ¹⁶ It is given to be polished, to be seized. The sword is sharpened, polished, to be put into the hand of the slayer.
