Yehezkiel 21:6-7

21:6 “And you, son of man, groan with an aching heart ¹  and bitterness; groan before their eyes. 21:7 When they ask you, ‘Why are you groaning?’ you will reply, ‘Because of the report that has come. Every heart will melt with fear and every hand will be limp; everyone ²  will faint and every knee will be wet with urine.’ ³  Pay attention – it is coming and it will happen, declares the sovereign Lord.”

[21:6]  ¹ tn Heb “breaking loins.”

[21:7]  ² tn Heb “every spirit will be dim.”

[21:7]  ³ sn This expression depicts in a very vivid way how they will be overcome with fear. See the note on the same phrase in 7:17.
