Ezekiel:21:9-16
Seeker Overlay ON
* "
Son of man ,
prophesy and say ,
Thus says the Lord ,
Say :
A sword ,
a sword is sharpened and also polished ,
*
sharpened for slaughter ,
polished to flash like lightning !
Or do we make mirth ?
You have despised the rod ,
my son ,
with everything of wood .
*
So the sword is given to be polished ,
that it may be handled ;
it is sharpened and polished to be given into the hand of the slayer .
*
Cry and wail ,
son of man ,
for it is against my people ;
it is against all the princes of Israel ;
they are delivered over to the sword with my people .
Smite therefore upon your thigh .
*
For it will not be a testing--what could it do if you despise the rod ?"
says the Lord GOD .
* "
Prophesy therefore ,
son of man ;
clap your hands and let the sword come down twice ,
yea thrice ,
the sword for those to be slain ;
it is the sword for the great slaughter ,
which encompasses them ,
*
that their hearts may melt ,
and many fall at all their gates .
I have given the glittering sword ;
ah !
it is made like lightning ,
it is polished for slaughter .
*
Cut sharply to right and left where your edge is directed .
