Ezekiel 21:11-13

International Children’s Bible

¹¹ The sword should be polished.
    The sword is meant to be held in the hand.
It is made sharp and polished.
    It is made ready for the hand of the killer.
¹² Shout and yell, human being.
    This is because the sword is against my people.
    It is against all the rulers of Israel.
They will be killed by the sword,
    along with my people.
    So beat your chest in sadness.
