Ezekiel 21:5-7

Christian Standard Bible

⁵ So all humanity will know that I, the Lord, have taken my sword from its sheath—it will not be sheathed again.’^(A)

⁶ “But you, son of man, groan! Groan bitterly with a broken heart^[a] right before their eyes. ⁷ And when they ask you, ‘Why are you groaning?’ then say, ‘Because of the news that is coming.^(B) Every heart will melt, and every hand will become weak. Every spirit will be discouraged, and all knees will run with urine.^[b](C) Yes, it is coming and it will happen. This is the declaration of the Lord God.’”
