"Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying, "
— Ezekiel 21:8, American King James Version
“Again the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,”
“And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying, ”
“The word of Yahweh came to me, saying,”
“The LORD’s message came to me:”
“And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:”
“And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,”
“Again the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,”
That all flesh may know that I the LORD have drawn forth my sword out of his sheath: it shall not return any more.
Sigh therefore, you son of man, with the breaking of your loins; and with bitterness sigh before their eyes.
And it shall be, when they say to you, Why sigh you? that you shall answer, For the tidings; because it comes: and every heart shall melt, and all hands shall be feeble, and every spirit shall faint, and all knees shall be weak as water: behold, it comes, and shall be brought to pass, says the Lord GOD. ¶
Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
Son of man, prophesy, and say, Thus says the LORD; Say, A sword, a sword is sharpened, and also furbished:
It is sharpened to make a sore slaughter; it is furbished that it may glitter: should we then make mirth? it scorns the rod of my son, as every tree.
And he has given it to be furbished, that it may be handled: this sword is sharpened, and it is furbished, to give it into the hand of the slayer.
