Ezekiel 21:5-7

Good News Translation

⁵ Everyone will know that I, the Lord, have drawn my sword and that I will not put it away.

⁶ “Mortal man, groan as if your heart is breaking with despair. Groan in sorrow where everyone can watch you. ⁷ When they ask you why you are groaning, tell them it is because of the news that is coming. When it comes, their hearts will be filled with fear, their hands will hang limp, their courage will fail, and their knees will tremble. The time has come; it is here.” The Sovereign Lord has spoken.
