Ezekiel 7:17

17 omnes manus dissolventur et omnia genua fluent aquis

Ezekiel 7:17 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 7:17

All hands shall be feeble
No strength in them, to lay hold on weapons of war to defend themselves, or fight the enemy; no heart nor courage in them, to go forth and meet him; and even afraid to lift up their voice in mourning, lest they should be heard, and pursued, and taken: and all knees shall be weak [as] water;
tremble and beat one against another, for fear of the enemy; or,

``shall flow with water,''
as the Targum; either with sweat or urine, which are sometimes both caused by fear.

Ezekiel 7:17 In-Context

15 gladius foris pestis et fames intrinsecus qui in agro est gladio morietur et qui in civitate pestilentia et fame devorabuntur
16 et salvabuntur qui fugerint ex eis et erunt in montibus quasi columbae convallium omnes trepidi unusquisque in iniquitate sua
17 omnes manus dissolventur et omnia genua fluent aquis
18 et accingent se ciliciis et operiet eos formido et in omni facie confusio et in universis capitibus eorum calvitium
19 argentum eorum foris proicietur et aurum eorum in sterquilinium erit argentum eorum et aurum eorum non valebit liberare eos in die furoris Domini animam suam non saturabunt et ventres eorum non implebuntur quia scandalum iniquitatis eorum factum est
