Ezekiel 21:10-12

New International Version

¹⁰ sharpened for the slaughter,^(A)
    polished to flash like lightning!

¹¹ “‘The sword is appointed to be polished,^(C)
    to be grasped with the hand;
it is sharpened and polished,
    made ready for the hand of the slayer.
¹² Cry out and wail, son of man,
    for it is against my people;
    it is against all the princes of Israel.
They are thrown to the sword
    along with my people.
Therefore beat your breast.^(D)
