Groaning at the coming news

6And the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,

7Son of man, set your face toward Jerusalem, and preach toward the sanctuaries, and prophesy against the land of Israel.

8And say to the land of Israel, ‘Thus says Yahweh: Behold, I am against you, and I will draw my sword from its sheath and cut off from you both righteous and wicked.’

9Because I will cut off from you both the righteous and the wicked, therefore my sword will go out from its sheath against all flesh from south to north.

10And all flesh will know that I, Yahweh, have drawn my sword from its sheath; it will not return again.

11And you, son of man, groan with breaking loins, and in bitterness you shall groan before their eyes.

12And it shall be, when they say to you, ‘Why are you groaning?’ that you shall say, ‘Because of the news, for it is coming.’ Then every heart will melt, all hands will grow weak, every spirit will faint, and all knees will run with water. Look, it is coming, and it will happen, declares the Lord GOD.
