 10It is sharpened for sore slaughter, it is furbished that it may glitter. Shall we then make mirth, saying, The sceptre of my son contemneth all wood?
 11And he hath given it to be furbished that it may be handled. The sword,--it is sharpened, and it is furbished to give it into the hand of the slayer.
 12Cry and howl, son of man; for it shall be against my people, it shall be against all the princes of Israel: they are given up to the sword along with my people: smite therefore upon the thigh.
 13For the trial is made; and what if even the contemning sceptre shall be no more? saith the Lord Jehovah.
 14And thou, son of man, prophesy, and smite thy hands together; for the strokes of the sword shall be doubled the third time: it is the sword of the slain, the sword that hath slain the great one, which encompasseth them privily.
 15In order that the heart may melt, and the stumbling-blocks be multiplied, I have set the threatening sword against all their gates: ah! it is made glittering, it is whetted for the slaughter. (Ezek. 21:9‑15)
