Ezekiel 21:1-7

11And the word of the Lord came to me saying, 2“Son of man, 2set your face toward Jerusalem, and 34speak against the sanctuaries and prophesy against the land of Israel; 3and say to the land of Israel, ‘Thus says the Lord, “Behold, 5I am against you; and I will draw My sword out of its sheath and cut off from you the 6righteous and the wicked. 4Because I will cut off from you the righteous and the wicked, therefore My sword will go forth from its sheath against 7all flesh from south to north. 5Thus all flesh will know that I, the Lord, have drawn My sword out of its sheath. It will 8not return to its sheath again.”’ 6As for you, son of man, groan with breaking 9heart and bitter grief, groan in their sight. 7And when they say to you, ‘Why do you groan?’ you shall say, ‘Because of the 10news that is coming; and 11every heart will melt, all hands will be feeble, every spirit will 12faint and all knees will 13be weak as water. Behold, it comes and it will happen,’ declares the Lord 14God.”
