Exegesis

The conjunction ʾô {א֣וֹ | ʾô} ‘or’ opens a rhetorical question nā-śîś {נָשִׂ֔ישׂ | nā-śîś} ‘shall we rejoice,’ which functions as a moral shock: celebration would be grotesquely out of place.

In contextEzekiel 21:10

In order to slaughter, to slaughter, it has been sharpened; in order for it to become a flash of lightning , it has been polished. Or shall we rejoice? It is rejecting the rod of My son like every tree.
