Ezekiel's Sword of Lightning

 Son of man prophesy and say, "Thus says the Lord!"

Say:

A sword, a sword is sharpened and also polished! Sharpened to make a dreadful slaughter. Polished to flash like lightning! Should we then make mirth? It despises the scepter of my son. As it does all wood, and He has given it to be polished, that it might be handled; This sword is sharpened, and it is polished to be given into the hand of the slayer.

Cry and wail, son of man; For it will be against my people. Against all the princes of Israel. Terrors including the sword will be against My people; Therefore strike your thigh. Because it is a testing, and what if the sword even despises the scepter? The scepter shall be no more.

Says the Lord God.


You therefore, son of man, prophesy, 

And strike your hands together. The third time let the sword do double damage. It is the sword that slays. The sword that slays the great men. That enters their private chambers. I have set the point of the sword against all her gates. That the heart may melt and many may stumble. Ah! It is made bright; It is grasped for slaughter; Swords at the ready! Thrust right! Set your blade! Thrust left! Wherever your edge is ordered! "I also will beat my fists together. I will cause my fury to rest; I, the Lord, have spoken."


A sword, a sword is drawn,

Polished for slaughter. For consuming, for flashing. While they see false visions for you. While they divine a lie to you. To bring you on the necks of the wicked, the slain whose day has come. Who's iniquity shall end. Return it to its sheath. I will judge you in the place you were created. In the land of your nativity. I will pour out my indignation on you; I will blow against you with the fire of My wrath., and deliver you into the hands of brutal men that are skillful to destroy. You shall be fuel for the fire; your blood shall be in the midst of the land. You shall not be remembered. For I the Lord have spoken.
