Son of man, prophesy, and say, Thus saith the LORD; Say, A sword, a sword is sharpened, and also furbished:

Against {him that} bendeth let the archer bend his bow, and against {him that} lifteth himself up in his brigandine: and spare ye not her young men; destroy ye utterly all her host.

And {he had} an helmet of brass upon his head, and he {was} armed with a coat of mail; and the weight of the coat {was} five thousand shekels of brass. {armed: Heb. clothed}

And Saul armed David with his armour, and he put an helmet of brass upon his head; also he armed him with a coat of mail. {armed David...: Heb. clothed David with his clothes}

And it came to pass from that time forth, {that} the half of my servants wrought in the work, and the other half of them held both the spears, the shields, and the bows, and the habergeons; and the rulers {were} behind all the house of Judah.

And Uzziah prepared for them throughout all the host shields, and spears, and helmets, and habergeons, and bows, and slings {to cast} stones. {slings...: Heb. stones of slings}

And thou, son of man, prophesy and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD concerning the Ammonites, and concerning their reproach; even say thou, The sword, the sword {is} drawn: for the slaughter {it is} furbished, to consume because of the glittering:

Make bright the arrows; gather the shields: the LORD hath raised up the spirit of the kings of the Medes: for his device {is} against Babylon, to destroy it; because it {is} the vengeance of the LORD, the vengeance of his temple. {bright: Heb. pure}

Against {him that} bendeth let the archer bend his bow, and against {him that} lifteth himself up in his brigandine: and spare ye not her young men; destroy ye utterly all her host.

It is sharpened to make a sore slaughter; it is furbished that it may glitter: should we then make mirth? it contemneth the rod of my son, {as} every tree. {it contemneth...: or, it is the rod of my son, it despiseth every tree}
