Pen

The pen as an implement for writing

Isaiah 8:1 See also 3 John 1:13

Then the LORD said to me, “Take a large scroll and write on it with an ordinary stylus: Maher-shalal-hash-baz.

By extension, refering to what is written

Jeremiah 8:8 This means that what they wrote was untrue. See also Matthew 5:18; Luke 16:17

How can you say, ‘We are wise, and the Law of the LORD is with us,’ when in fact the lying pen of the scribes has produced a deception?

Used symbolically

Psalm 45:1

For the choirmaster. To the tune of “The Lilies.” A Maskil of the sons of Korah. A love song. My heart is stirred by a noble theme as I recite my verses to the king; my tongue is the pen of a skillful writer.

Sharpened with a penknife

See also Jeremiah 36:23
