Ezekiel 21:5-7

New American Standard Bible

⁵ So ^[a]humanity will know that I, the Lord, have drawn My sword from its sheath. It will ^(A)not return to its sheath again.”’ ⁶ As for you, son of man, groan with ^[b]a breaking heart and bitter grief; you shall groan in their sight. ⁷ And when they say to you, ‘Why are you groaning?’ you shall say, ‘Because of the ^(B)news, for it is coming; and ^(C)every heart will melt, all hands will go limp, every spirit will be disheartened, and all ^[c]knees will drip with water. Behold, it is coming and it will happen,’ declares the Lord ^[d]God.”
