9 Mortal, prophesy and say: Thus says the Lord; Say: A sword, a sword is sharpened, it is also polished; 10 it is sharpened for slaughter, honed to flash like lightning! How can we make merry? You have despised the rod, and all discipline. 11 The sword is given to be polished, to be grasped in the hand; it is sharpened, the sword is polished, to be placed in the slayer’s hand.
