Ezekiel 21:13

For it will not be a testing--what could it do if you despise the rod?" declares the Lord GOD.

sharpened for slaughter, polished to flash like lightning!(Or shall we rejoice? You have despised the rod, my son, with everything of wood.)

When disaster brings sudden death, he mocks at the calamity of the innocent.

And you, O profanewicked one, prince of Israel, whose day has come, the time of your final punishment,

for in a severe test of affliction, their abundance of joy and their extreme poverty have overflowed in a wealth of generosity on their part.

Because it is a trial, and what if the sword contemn even the rod? it shall be no more, saith the Lord GOD.

When disaster brings sudden death, he mocks at the calamity of the innocent.

for in a severe test of affliction, their abundance of joy and their extreme poverty have overflowed in a wealth of generosity on their part.

sharpened for slaughter, polished to flash like lightning!(Or shall we rejoice? You have despised the rod, my son, with everything of wood.)

A ruin, ruin, ruin I will make it. This also shall not be, until he comes, the one to whom judgment belongs, and I will give it to him.
