Context Readings

A Vision Of The Avenging Sword Of Yahweh

5 So all the people will know that I, Yahweh, have taken My sword from its sheath—it will not be sheathed again. 6 “But you, son of man, groan! Groan bitterly with a broken heart right before their eyes. 7 And when they ask you, ‘Why are you groaning?’ then say: Because of the news that is coming. Every heart will melt, and every hand will become weak. Every spirit will be discouraged, and every knee will turn to water. Yes, it is coming and it will happen.” This is the declaration of the Lord God.
