Ezekiel 21:5-7

Lexham English Bible

⁵ And they will know, all creatures, that I, Yahweh, I will bring out my sword from its sheath; it will not return again!”’ ⁶ And you, son of man,^[a] groan with shaking hips,^[b] and you must groan with bitterness before their eyes. ⁷ And then^[c] when they say to you, ‘On account of what are you groaning?’ then you must say, ‘On account of the report, for it is coming, and every heart will be weak and all hands will hang limp and every spirit will be disheartened, and all knees will go like water.’ Look! It is coming, and it will happen!” declares^[d] the Lord Yahweh.
