     13 He’s testing.
When even the rod rejects,
    will it not certainly happen?[a]
    This is what the Lord God says.

It’s a deadly sword,
    a great deadly sword.
It whirls around them

    to make many stumble and fall.
I’ve set the slaughtering sword
    against all their gates.
Oh! It’s crafted to flash like lightning,
    polished for slaughter!
