As it does all wood.
Polished to flash like lightning!
Should we then make mirth?
It despises the scepter of My son,
As it does all wood.
11 And He has given it to be polished,
That it may be handled;
This sword is sharpened, and it is polished
To be given into the hand of athe slayer.’
That it may be handled;
This sword is sharpened, and it is polished
To be given into the hand of athe slayer.’
12 “Cry and wail, son of man;
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.
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.
13 “Because it is aa testing,
And what if the sword despises even the scepter?
bThe scepter shall be no more,” says the Lord God.
And what if the sword despises even the scepter?
bThe scepter shall be no more,” says the Lord God.
