Ezekiel 21:6

Thou, therefore O son of man sigh,— In the sharp pain of thy loins and in bitterness, shalt thou sigh before their eyes.

The Emphasised Bible by J. B. Rotherham

In The King James Version

Sigh therefore, thou son of man, with the breaking of thy loins; and with bitterness sigh before their eyes.

In Context

5So shall all flesh know that, I, Yahweh have brought forth my sword out of its sheath,— it shall not return any more.

7And it shall come to pass when they shall say unto thee, Wherefore art thou sighing? that thou shalt say, For the report because it cometh, When every heart shall melt. And all hands be unnerved And every spirit shall become faint. And all knees shall be weak as water, Lo! it cometh and shall be brought to pass, Saith My Lord, Yahweh.
