'Scepter' in the Bible

A fire has gone out from its branch; it has consumed its shoot and its fruit. No strong branch was left in it, nor a scepter to rule.' This is a lament song, and has become a lament song."

It is sharpened for slaughter, it is polished to flash like lightning! "'Should we rejoice in the scepter of my son? No! The sword despises every tree!

"'For testing will come, and what will happen when the scepter, which the sword despises, is no more? declares the sovereign Lord.'
