Commentary on Ezekiel 21:11
'Say, A sword, a sword is sharpened, and also furbished.' The sword represents Babylon's military power executing God's judgment. 'Sharpened' (chad) and 'furbished' (marat—polished, brightened) indicate preparation for battle. The repetition ('a sword, a sword') creates urgency and inevitability. God's judgment sword is ready, honed, prepared for slaughter. The imagery is violent and unsettling—appropriate for the violence of war and divine judgment.
