9-10 Ezekiel, son of man, tell the people of Jerusalem:

I have sharpened my sword
    to slaughter you;
it is shiny and will flash
    like lightning!
Don't celebrate—
    punishment is coming,
because everyone has ignored
    my warnings.[a]
11 My sword has been polished;
    it's sharp and ready to kill.

12 Groan in sorrow, Ezekiel;
the sword is drawn against
    my people and their leaders.
They will die!
    So give up all hope.
