Ezekiel 21:11-13
English Standard Version
11 So the sword is given to be polished, that it may be grasped in the hand. It is sharpened and polished (A)to be given into the hand of the slayer. 12 (B)Cry out and wail, son of man, for it is against my people. It is against all the princes of Israel. They are delivered over to the sword with my people. (C)Strike therefore upon your thigh. 13 For it will not be a testing—what could it do if you despise (D)the rod?”[a] declares the Lord God.

New International Version
11 “‘The sword is appointed to be polished,(A)
to be grasped with the hand;
it is sharpened and polished,
made ready for the hand of the slayer.
12 Cry out and wail, son of man,
for it is against my people;
it is against all the princes of Israel.
They are thrown to the sword
along with my people.
Therefore beat your breast.(B)
13 “‘Testing will surely come. And what if even the scepter, which the sword despises, does not continue? declares the Sovereign Lord.’
