*
Son of man ,
prophesy ,
and say ,
Thus saith the LORD ;
Say ,
A sword ,
a sword is sharpened ,
and also furbished :
*
It is sharpened to make a sore slaughter ;
it is furbished that it may glitter :
should we then make mirth ?
it contemneth the rod of my son ,
as every tree .
*
And he hath given it to be furbished ,
that it may be handled kaph #:
this sword is sharpened ,
and it is furbished ,
to give it into the hand of the slayer .
*
Cry and howl ,
son of man :
for it shall be upon my people ,
it shall be upon all the princes of Israel Yisra #
el #:
terrors by reason of the sword shall be upon my people :
smite therefore upon thy thigh .
*
Because it is a trial ,
and what if the sword contemn even the rod ?
it shall be no more ,
saith the Lord GOD .
*
Thou therefore ,
son of man ,
prophesy ,
and smite #
thine hands kaph #
together ,
and let the sword be doubled the third time ,
the sword of the slain :
it is the sword of the great men that are slain ,
which entereth into their privy chambers .
*
I have set the point of the sword against all their gates sha #
ar #,
that their heart may faint ,
and their ruins be multiplied :
ah !
it is made bright ,
it is wrapped up for the slaughter .
