Ezekiel 21:6 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 21:6

Sigh, therefore, thou son of man, with the breaking of thy
loins
As if thy loins were broke, and go as if they were, and sigh as thou goest; or as a woman in travail, having her hands upon her loins as ready to break, and in the utmost distress; or heave, and groan, and sigh, till the girdle of the loins is broke, and by these motions and gesture show the miserable state of this people, and how much thou art affected with it: and with bitterness sigh before their eyes;
in the sight and hearing of the captives at Babylon; who would take care, by some means or other, to inform their brethren at Jerusalem of it, how the prophet sighed and groaned, under an apprehension and assurance of a dreadful calamity coming upon them; using along with his sobs and sighs, and brinish tears, doleful words and bitter lamentations.

Ezekiel 21:6 In-Context

4 Et toute chair verra que moi, l'Éternel, je l'ai allumée; elle ne s'éteindra point.

5 Et je dis: Ah! Seigneur, Éternel, ils disent de moi: Cet homme ne fait que parler en énigmes.

6 Puis la parole de l'Éternel me fut adressée en ces mots:

7 Fils de l'homme, tourne ta face vers Jérusalem; prêche vers les saints lieux, prophétise contre le pays d'Israël.

8 Dis au pays d'Israël: Ainsi a dit l'Éternel: Voici, c'est à toi que j'en veux; je tirerai mon épée de son fourreau, et j'exterminerai du milieu de toi le juste et le méchant.
