Ezekiel 21:7 Context
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. 8¶ Againe, the word of the Lord came vnto me, saying, 9Sonne of man, prophecie and say, Thus sayth the Lord, Say, A sword, a sword is sharpened, and also fourbished.
