9 |Son of man, prophesy, and say, 'Thus says the LORD: Say, |A sword, a sword, it is sharpened, and also furbished; 10 it is sharpened that it may make a slaughter; it is furbished that it may be as lightning: shall we then make mirth? The rod of my son, it condemns every tree. 11 It is given to be furbished, that it may be handled: the sword, it is sharpened, yes, it is furbished, to give it into the hand of the killer.|' Ezekiel 21:9-11, New Heart English Bible.
