Ezekiel 21:9-11

9‘Son of man, speak my message to the people. Say, “This is what the Lord says: Look at my sword! It is sharp and it shines brightly.

10It is sharp and it is ready to kill people. It shines as bright as lightning! Should we trust in the power of our king? No! This sword does not respect any kingdom.

11Now it is sharp and it shines. It is ready for someone to take in their hand. It is ready for the killer to use it.”
