Ezekiel 21:5-7

New Century Version

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

⁶ “So, human, groan with breaking heart and great sadness. Groan in front of the people. 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. Everyone will be afraid; all knees will become weak as water. Look, it is coming, and it will happen, says the Lord God.’”
