Ezekiel 21:8-17

8Again the wordH1697 of the LordH3068 cameH1961 to me, sayingH559, 9“SonH1121 of manH120, prophesyH5012 and sayH559, ‘ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068.’ SayH559, ‘1A swordH2719, a swordH2719 sharpenedH2300 And alsoH1571 polishedH4803!10SharpenedH2300 to makeH2873 a 2slaughterH2874, PolishedH4803 3to flashH1300 like lightningH1300!’ OrH176 shall we rejoiceH7797, the 4rodH7626 of My sonH1121 5despisingH3988 everyH3605 treeH6086? 11It is givenH5414 to be polishedH4803, that it may be handledH8610; the swordH2719 is sharpenedH2300 and polishedH4803, to giveH5414 it into the handH3027 of the slayerH2026. 126CryH2199 out and wailH3213, sonH1121 of manH120; for it is against My peopleH5971, it is against allH3605 the 7officialsH5387 of IsraelH3478. They are deliveredH4048 over to the swordH2719 with My peopleH5971, thereforeH3651 strikeH5606 your thighH3409. 13For there is a testingH976; and whatH4100 ifH518 evenH1571 the 8rodH7626 which despisesH3988 will be noH3808 more?” declaresH5002 the LordH136 GodH3068.

14“You therefore, sonH1121 of manH120, prophesyH5012 and clapH5221 your handsH3709 togetherH413H3709; and let the swordH2719 be 9doubledH3717 the thirdH7992 timeH7992, the swordH2719 for the slainH2491. It is the swordH2719 for the greatH1419 oneH1419 slainH2491, which surroundsH2314 them, 15that their 10heartsH3820 may meltH4127, and manyH7235 11fallH4383 at allH3605 their 12gatesH8179. I have givenH5414 the glitteringH19 swordH2719. AhH253! It is madeH6213 for striking like lightningH1300, it is wrappedH5844 up in readiness for slaughterH2874. 1613ShowH2300 yourself sharpH2300, goH3231 to the rightH3231; setH7760 yourself; goH8041 to the leftH8041, whereverH575 your 14edgeH6440 is appointedH3259. 17I will alsoH1571 clapH5221 My handsH3709 togetherH413H3709, and I will 1516appeaseH5117 My wrathH2534; I, the LordH3068, have spokenH1696.”
