Exegesis
The final sequence lo tashuv od {לֹ֥א תָשׁ֖וּב עוֹד | lōʾ tā-šûḇ ʿôḏ} combines negation with an imperfect verb and the adverb ‘again’ to express irreversibility: the sword, once drawn, will not be returned to rest, reinforcing the certainty and continuation of the announced judgment.
In context — Ezekiel 21:5
And all flesh will know that I, the LORD , have drawn out My sword from its sheath; it will not return again.
