The LORD’s word of a sword sharpened and polished

날카롭고 마광된 칼에 대한 여호와의 말씀

Ezekiel 21:8–17: the LORD’s word comes to the speaker (“I”), saying, “Son of man, prophesy, and say, ‘The LORD says: “A sword! A sword! It is sharpened, and also polished. It is sharpened that it may make a slaughter. It is polished that it may be as lightning. Should we then make mirth? The rod of my son condemns every tree. It is given to be polished, that it may be handled. The sword is sharpened. Yes, it is polished to give it into the hand of the killer.”’ Cry and wail, son of man; for it is on my people. It is on all the princes of Israel. They are delivered over to the sword with my people. Therefore beat your thigh. For there is a trial. What if even the rod that condemns will be no more?” says the Lord GOD. “You therefore, son of man, prophesy, and strike your hands together. Let the sword be doubled the third time, the sword of the fatally wounded. It is the sword of the great one who is fatally wounded, which enters into their rooms. I have set the threatening sword against all their gates, that their heart may melt, and their stumblings be multiplied. Ah! It is made as lightning. It is pointed for slaughter. Gather yourselves together. Go to the right. Set yourselves in array. Go to the left, wherever your face is set. I will also strike my hands together, and I will cause my wrath to rest. I, the LORD, have spoken it.” The text does not say that the speaker prophesied, cried or struck his hands together. The Korean Revised Version reads 업신여기는 (despising) where WEB reads “condemns” (21:10, 21:13); at 21:14 it reads 칼로 세번 거듭 씌우게 하라 이 칼은 중상케 하는 칼이라 밀실에 들어가서 대인을 중상케 하는 칼이로다, where WEB reads “Let the sword be doubled the third time, the sword of the fatally wounded. It is the sword of the great one who is fatally wounded, which enters into their rooms”; at 21:15 it reads 번쩍 번쩍하는 칼 (the flashing sword) where WEB reads “the threatening sword”; and at 21:16 it calls on the sword (칼아), where WEB names none.
