Ezekiel 21:5 Context
3And say to þe land of Israel, Thus saith the Lord, Behold, I am against thee, and will draw forth my sword out of his sheath, and will cut off from thee the righteous and the wicked. 4Seeing then that I will cut off from thee the righteous and the wicked, therefore shall my sword goe forth out of his sheath against all flesh from the South to the North: 5That all flesh may know, that I the Lord haue drawen foorth my sword out of his sheath: it shall not returne any more. 6Sigh therefore thou sonne of man with the breaking of thy loynes, and with bitternesse sigh before their eyes. 7And it shall be, when they say vnto thee; Wherefore sighest thou? that thou shalt answere, For the tidings, because it commeth: and euery heart shall melt, and all hands shalbe feeble, and euery spirit shal faint, and all knees shal be weake as water: behold, it commeth, and shalbe brought to passe, sayth the Lord God.
