# A sword! A sword! It will be sharpened and polished!

This passage describes the sword of Yahweh which is a metaphor for an enemy army that Yahweh will use to attack Jerusalem. This idea begins here and continues through Ezekiel 21:17.

# It will be sharpened and polished

"It is sharp and polished"

# polished

Someone made the sword smooth, shiny, and clean by rubbing it with a rough material.
