Again the wordof the LORDcameto me, saying,
"On allthe bareheightsin the wildernessDestroyershave come,For a swordof the LORDis devouringFrom one endof the landeven to the other;Thereis nopeacefor anyone.
"Or[if] I should bringa swordon that countryand say,'Let the swordpassthrough the countryand cutoffmanand beastfrom it,'
"And whenthey sayto you, 'Whydo you groan?'you shall say,'Becauseof the newsthat is coming;and everyheartwill melt,allhandswill be feeble,everyspiritwill faintand allkneeswill be weakas water.Behold,it comesand it will happen,'declaresthe LordGOD."
"Sonof man,prophesyand say,'Thussaysthe LORD.'Say,A sword,a swordsharpenedAnd alsopolished!
