Ezekiel 21:8

The sword dance

8 The LORD's word came to me:

Ezekiel 21:8 In-Context

6 You, human one, groan in their sight; groan bitterly with trembling knees.
7 If they ask you why you're groaning, say to them, "Because of the news." When it comes, every heart will despair, every hand will hang lifeless, every spirit will be listless, and urine will run down every leg. It's coming! It will happen! This is what the LORD God says.
8 The LORD's word came to me:
9 Human one, prophesy! Say, The Lord proclaims! Say: A sword! A sharp and polished sword!
10 For utter slaughter it is sharpened, polished to flash like lightning. Let's not rejoice, because no one will escape the purge.
