8. And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,
9. Son of man, prophesy, and say, Thus saith Jehovah: Say, A sword, a sword is sharpened, and also furbished.
10. It is sharpened for sore slaughter, it is furbished that it may glitter. Shall we then make mirth, saying, The sceptre of my son contemneth all wood?
11. And he hath given it to be furbished that it may be handled. The sword, --it is sharpened, and it is furbished to give it into the hand of the slayer.
