Ezekiel 21:9-11

9 aSon of man, prophesy and say, Thus says the Lord, say:

b“A sword, a sword is sharpened
and also polished,
10 csharpened for slaughter,
dpolished to flash like lightning!
(Or eshall we rejoice? You have despised the rod, my son, fwith everything of wood.)
Probable reading; Hebrew The rod of my son despises everything of wood
11So the sword is given to be polished, that it may be grasped in the hand. It is sharpened and polished hto be given into the hand of the slayer.
