10 (O)sharpened for slaughter,
(P)polished to flash like lightning!
(Or (Q)shall we rejoice? You have despised the rod, my son, (R)with everything of wood.)[a] 11 So the sword is given to be polished, that it may be grasped in the hand. It is sharpened and polished (S)to be given into the hand of the slayer. 12 (T)Cry out and wail, son of man, for it is against my people. It is against all the princes of Israel. They are delivered over to the sword with my people. (U)Strike therefore upon your thigh. 13 For it will not be a testing—what could it do if you despise (V)the rod?”[b] declares the Lord God.
14 “As for you, (W)son of man, prophesy. (X)Clap your hands and let the sword come down twice, (Y)yes, three times,[c] the sword for those to be slain. It is the sword for the great slaughter, which surrounds them, 15 that their hearts may melt, and many stumble.[d] At all their gates I have given the glittering sword. Ah, it is made like lightning; (Z)it is taken up[e] for slaughter. 16 Cut sharply to the right; set yourself to the left, wherever your face is directed. 17 I also will (AA)clap my hands, (AB)and I will satisfy my fury; (AC)I the Lord have spoken.”
