Psalm 7:12
“If he turn not, he will whet his sword; he hath bent his bow, and made it ready.”
KJV
Read in Psalm 7Meaning
The sharpened sword image is judicial warning meant to press repentance, not a weapon handed to the worshiper.
Read carefully
The weapon belongs to the divine-judgment metaphor and does not commission human violence or forced conversion.
Reflection
Support accountability and repentance through lawful means.
