Tafsiran/Catatan -- Catatan Kata/Frasa (per Ayat)

Poole: Eze 21:12 - Cry // Terrors // The sword // Smite upon thy thigh

Cry as one in great distress; nay, how unseemly soever it may appear, howl, that they may by this know what sorrows are coming on them, and how they, like wild beasts taken in the toils and girts, shall howl. For the devouring sword of Babylon shall certainly be upon all, high and low.

Terrors surrounding terrors, out of which no way to escape.

The sword that sword God will draw against them.

Smite upon thy thigh in token of thy sense of what they must suffer, and to presignify what their sorrows shall be, when they must express them by signs, because too great for words.

Haydock: Eze 21:12 - Fled // Thigh

Fled, with Sedecias, by night. ---

Thigh, in surprise and grief, ver. 17.

Gill: Eze 21:12 - Cry, howl, son of man // for it shall be upon my people // and it shall be upon all the princes of Israel // Terrors, by reason of the sword, shall be upon my people // smite therefore upon thy thigh

Cry, howl, son of man,.... Not only sigh, but cry; and not cry only, but howl; signifying hereby that this would be the case of the Jews when these calamities should come upon them; and, in order to affect them with them before hand, the prophet is ordered to act such a part, as well as to express his sympathy with them:

for it shall be upon my people; that is, the sword, or the calamity signified by it; this should be not upon other nations, but upon the Lord's own people; such who professed themselves to be his people, and whom he had distinguished from all others; this is said, to affect the prophet the more, they being both the Lord's people, and his also:

and it shall be upon all the princes of Israel; who were slain in Riblah by the king of Babylon, Jer 52:10, the sword spared neither people nor princes.

Terrors, by reason of the sword, shall be upon my people; upon the rumour of the invasion, and when besieged in the city, and when attempting to make their escape by flight: or "my people are fallen by the sword" ^u, as some:

smite therefore upon thy thigh; as one grieved in spirit, in great distress and anguish; see Jer 31:19.
