Ezekiel 21:13

For the trial is made; and what if even the contemning sceptre shall be no more? saith the Lord Jehovah.

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?

If the scourge kill suddenly, he mocketh at the trial of the innocent.

And thou, profane, wicked prince of Israel, whose day is come, at the time of the iniquity of the end,

that in a great trial of affliction the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty has abounded to the riches of their free-hearted liberality.

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?

I will overturn, overturn, overturn it! This also shall be no more, until he come whose right it is; and I will give it to him.
