⁶ “As for you, son of man, ^(A)groan; with breaking heart and bitter grief, ^(B)groan before their eyes.

^7 (A)And when they say to you, ‘Why do you groan?’ you shall say, ‘Because of the news ^(B)that it is coming. ^(C)Every heart will melt, and ^(D)all hands will be feeble; every spirit will faint, and ^(E)all knees will be weak as water. ^(F)Behold, it is ^(G)coming, and it will be fulfilled,’” declares the Lord God.
