Ezekiel 21:28
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:
KJV
Et tu, fili hominis, propheta, et dic : Hæc dicit Dominus Deus ad filios Ammon, et ad opprobrium eorum : et dices : Mucro, mucro, evaginate ad occidendum : limate ut interficias et fulgeas :
Vulgate
Καὶ σύ, υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, προφήτευσον καὶ ἐρεῖς Τάδε λέγει Κύριος πρὸς τοὺς υἱοὺς Ἀμμὼν καὶ πρὸς τὸν ὀνειδισμὸν αὐτῶν, καὶ ἐρεῖς Ῥομφαία ῥομφαία ἐσπασμένη εἰς σφάγια καὶ ἐσπασμένη εἰς συντέλειαν, ἐγείρου ὅπως στίλβῃς.
LXX
And thou, son of man, prophesy, and say, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah concerning the children of Ammon, and concerning their reproach; and say thou, A sword, a sword is drawn, for the slaughter it is furbished, to cause it to devour, that it may be as lightning;
