Ezekiel 21:5-7

Living Bible

⁵ All the world shall know that it is I, the Lord. His sword is in his hand, and it will not return to its sheath again until its work is finished.’

⁶ “Sigh and groan before the people, son of dust, in your bitter anguish; sigh with grief and broken heart. ⁷ When they ask you why, tell them: ‘Because of the fearsome news that God has given me. When it comes true, the boldest heart will melt with fear; all strength will disappear. Every spirit will faint; strong knees will tremble and become as weak as water.’ And the Lord God says: ‘Your doom is on the way; my judgments will be fulfilled!’”
