Ezekiel 21:11-13

Revised Geneva Translation

¹¹ “And it has been given to be polished, so that it may be handled. This sword is sharp, and is polished, so that it may be given into the hand of the slayer.

¹² “Cry and howl, son of man! For this shall come to My people. It shall come to all the princes of Israel. The terrors of the sword shall be upon My people. Strike, therefore, upon your thigh.

¹³ “For it is a trial. And what shall this be if the sword despises even the rod? It shall be no more,” says the Lord GOD.
