It is sharpened--a sword--and it [is] polished to give it into [the] hand of [the] killer. ¹² Cry and wail, son of man, for it is against my people; it is against all of the princes of Israel. They are thrown to [the] sword with my people; therefore {strike your thigh}. ¹³ For {examine}! And what if also [the] rod will not be despising?' {declares} the Lord Yahweh.
