That all flesh may know that I the LORD have drawn forth my sword out of his sheath: it shall not return any more.(Ezequiel 21:5)
Sigh therefore, thou son of man, with the breaking of thy loins; and with bitterness sigh before their eyes.(Ezequiel 21:6)
And it shall be, when they say unto thee, Wherefore sighest thou? that thou shalt answer, For the tidings; because it cometh: and every heart shall melt, and all hands shall be feeble, and every spirit shall faint, and all knees shall be weak as water: behold, it cometh, and shall be brought to pass, saith the Lord GOD.(Ezequiel 21:7)
Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
Son of man, prophesy, and say, Thus saith the LORD; Say, A sword, a sword is sharpened, and also furbished:(Ezequiel 21:9)
It is sharpened to make a sore slaughter; it is furbished that it may glitter: should we then make mirth? it contemneth the rod of my son, as every tree.(Ezequiel 21:10)
And he hath given it to be furbished, that it may be handled: this sword is sharpened, and it is furbished, to give it into the hand of the slayer.(Ezequiel 21:11)
