Ezekiel 21:5-7

Expanded Bible

⁵ Then all people will know that I, the Lord, have pulled my sword out from its ·holder [sheath]. My sword will not go back in again.’

⁶ “So, ·human [^Tson of man; 2:1], groan with breaking heart and ·great sadness [bitter grief]. Groan ·in front of the people [^Lbefore their eyes]. ⁷ When they ask you, ‘Why are you groaning?’ you will say, ‘Because of what I have heard is going to happen. When it happens, every heart will melt with fear, and all hands will become ·weak [limp; feeble]. ·Everyone [^LEvery spirit] will ·be afraid [faint]; all knees will ·become weak as water [or be wet with urine]. ·Look [^TBehold], it is coming, and it will happen, says the Lord God.’”
