Ezekiel 21:10
_ _ to make a sore slaughter — literally, “that killing it may kill.”
_ _ glitter — literally, “glitter as the lightning flash”: flashing terror into the foe.
_ _ should we ... make mirth — It is no time for levity when such a calamity is impending (Isaiah 22:12, Isaiah 22:13).
_ _ it contemneth the rod of my son, etc. — The sword has no more respect to the trivial “rod” or scepter of Judah (Genesis 49:10) than if it were any common “tree.” “Tree” is the image retained from Ezekiel 20:47; explained in Ezekiel 21:2, Ezekiel 21:3. God calls Judah “My son” (compare Exodus 4:22; Hosea 11:1). Fairbairn arbitrarily translates, “Perchance the scepter of My son rejoiceth; it (the sword) despiseth every tree.” |

Of my son — To whom God saith, Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron, Psalms 2:9. This sword is that rod of iron, which despiseth every tree, and will bear it down. |

It is sharpened to make a grievous slaughter; it is polished that it may (f) glitter: should we then make mirth? it despiseth the (g) rod of my son, (h) [as] every tree.

(g) Meaning, the sceptre showing that it will not spare the king, who would be as the son of God, and in his place.
(h) That is, the rest of the people. |
