Ezekiel 21:13-15
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
Song of the Sword. 13 The word of the Lord came to me:(A) 14 Son of man, prophesy! say: Thus says the Lord:
A sword, a sword has been sharpened,
a sword, a sword has been burnished:(B)
15 Sharpened to make a slaughter,
burnished to flash lightning!
Why should I stop now?
You have rejected the rod and every judgment!
