Ezekiel 21:6

God’s Sword of Judgment

5Then all flesh will know that I, the LORD, have taken My sword from its sheath, not to return it again.’6But you, son of man, groan! Groan before their eyes with a broken heart and bitter grief.7And when they ask, ‘Why are you groaning?’ you are to say, ‘Because of the news that is coming. Every heart will melt, and every hand will go limp. Every spirit will faint, and every knee will turn to water.’ Yes, it is coming and it will surely happen, declares the Lord GOD.”
