Ezekiel 21:28

Verse 28

28. The sword This description of the sword which falls upon the Ammonites strikingly resembles that which fell upon Jerusalem (Ezekiel 21:8-11). It is the same sword; it is the sword of the Lord! (Ezekiel 21:15.) The passage is very obscure. The R.V. reads: “A sword, a sword is drawn, for the slaughter it is furbished, to cause it to devour, that it may be as lightning: whiles they see vanity unto thee, whiles they divine lies unto thee, to lay thee upon the necks of the wicked that are deadly wounded, whose day is come, in the time of the iniquity [or, punishment] of the end. Cause it to return into its sheath.”
