Bible Comments

He hath given it; either God, whose sword it is; or Nebuchadnezzar, God's servant herein. Some refer it to Christ, who is Lord and Sovereign of his church, and Governor of the world. That it may be handled; be the fitter for use in the hand of the slayer, i.e. the Chaldean.

Ezekiel 21:11

11 And he hath given it to be furbished, that it may be handled: this sword is sharpened, and it is furbished, to give it into the hand of the slayer.
