a‘A sword, a sword is sharpened
And also polished!
Polished to flash like lightning!
Should we then make mirth?
It despises the scepter of My son,
As it does all wood.
That it may be handled;
This sword is sharpened, and it is polished
To be given into the hand of athe slayer.’
For it will be against My people,
Against all the princes of Israel.
Terrors including the sword will be against My people;
Therefore astrike your thigh.

Ezekiel 21:10
It contemneth the rod of my son - "It," the sword of Nebuchadnezzar, "contemneth the rod," despises the power and influence of my son - Israel, the Jewish people: "Out of Egypt have I called My Son."
As every tree - As all the stocks, kindreds, and nations, over which I have already given him commission. Can the rod of Israel be spared, when the trees of Assyria, Egypt, etc., have been cut down?
