'Rod' in the Bible

Behold, the day, behold, it cometh: thy doom is gone forth; the rod hath blossomed, pride hath budded.

Violence is risen up into a rod of wickedness; none of them'shall remain , nor of their multitude, nor of their wealth: neither shall there be eminency among them.

And fire is gone out of the rods of its branches, it hath devoured its fruit, so that there is in it no strong rod to be a sceptre to rule. This is a lamentation, and shall be for a lamentation.

And I will cause you to pass under the rod, and I will bring you into the bond of the covenant;

it is sharpened that it may make a slaughter; it is furbished that it may be as lightning: shall we then make mirth? the rod of my son, it contemneth every tree.

For there is a trial; and what if even the rod that contemneth shall be no more? saith the Lord Jehovah.
