Ezekiel 21:10-12

New American Standard Bible

Or shall we rejoice, the ^[b]rod of My son ^(B)despising every tree? ¹¹ And it is given to be polished, so that it may be handled; the sword is sharpened and polished, to hand it over to the slaughterer. ^12 (C)Cry out and wail, son of man; for it is against My people, it is against all the ^(D)officials of Israel. They are turned over to the sword with My people, therefore ^[c]slap your thigh.
