Ezekiel 21:11 in Context — Ezekiel 21

9 Hijo del hombre, profetiza, y di: Así ha dicho el Señor Jehová: Di: La espada, la espada está afilada, y aun acicalada;

10 Para degollar víctimas está afilada, acicalada está para que relumbre. ¿Hemos de alegrarnos? A la vara de mi hijo [viene] menospreciando todo árbol.

11 Y dióla á acicalar para tenerla á mano: la espada está afilada, y acicalada está ella, para entregarla en mano del matador.

12 Clama y aulla, oh hijo del hombre; porque ésta [será] sobre mi pueblo, [será] ella sobre todos los príncipes de Israel. Temores de espada serán á mi pueblo: por tanto, hiere el muslo;

13 Porque está probado. ¿Y qué, si la [espada] desprecia aun el cetro? El no será [más], dice el Señor Jehová.
