Biblia Brzeska (1563)
Dlatego tedy wołaj a wyj synu człowieczy, abowiem sprawion jest na lud mój i na wszytki książęta izraelskie; zawisnął-ci strach miecza na lud mój, a przetoż uderz rękami o biodra twoje.
Biblia Gdańska (1632)
Wołaj a kwil, synu człowieczy, przeto, że ten miecz będzie przeciwko ludowi memu, ten też przeciwko wszystkim książętom Izraelskim; strachy miecza przyjdą na lud mój; przetoż się w biodrę uderz.
Nowe Przymierze Zaremba
(21:17) Krzycz i jęcz, synu człowieczy, gdyż spadnie on na mój lud i na wszystkich panujących Izraela! Oto mój lud rzucony pod miecz - dlatego bij się w piersi!
Nowa Biblia Gdańska (2012)
A kiedy ci powiedzą: Dlaczego tak zawodzisz? Wtedy oświadcz: Z powodu wieści, co nadchodzi; na którą roztopi się każde serce, omdleją wszystkie ręce, zamroczy się wszelki duch, a wszystkie kolana rozpłyną się niby woda. Oto nadejdzie i się spełni! – mówi Pan, WIEKUISTY.
Biblia Tysiąclecia

Biblia Warszawska
A gdy będą cię pytać: Dlaczego jęczysz? To im odpowiedz: Z powodu wieści, która gdy nadejdzie, to wszystkie serca struchleją i wszystkie ręce opadną, i wszelka odwaga się rozwieje, i wszystkie kolana rozmiękną jak woda. Oto nadchodzi ona i już jest tu! - mówi Wszechmocny Pan,

Reciprocal: Leviticus 26:36 - I will send Isaiah 13:6 - Howl ye Jeremiah 4:8 - howl Jeremiah 31:19 - I smote Zephaniah 1:11 - Howl

Gill's Notes on the Bible

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, Jeremiah 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 Jeremiah 31:19.

u So R. Sol Urbin. Ohel Moed, fol. 59. 1.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The second word of judgment: the glittering and destroying sword. The passage may be called the “Lay of the Sword;” it is written in the form of Hebrew poetry, with its characteristic parallelism.

Ezekiel 21:10

It contemneth the rod of my son, as every tree - The rod is the scepter of dominion, assigned to Judah Genesis 49:10. The destroying sword of Babylon despises the scepter of Judah; it despises every tree. Others render the verse, “Shall we make mirth” (saying), “the rod of my son,” (the rod which corrects my people) “contemneth” (treats with scorn, utterly confounds) “every tree” (every other nation); or, the scepter of my people “contemneth” (proudly despises) every other nation. Proud as the people are, they shall be brought to sorrow.

Ezekiel 21:12

Terrors - Better as in the margin.

Smite upon thy thigh - A token of mourning (compare the marginal reference note).

Ezekiel 21:13

Or,

For it is put to the proof, and if it contemneth even the rod, What shall not be? saith the Lord

i. e., What horrors will not arise when the sword shall cut down without regard the ruling scepter of Judah!

Ezekiel 21:14

Doubled the third time - i. e., “thrice doubled” to express its violence and force.

The sword of the slain - The sword whereby men are to be slain.

Of the great men ... - Or, The sword of the mighty slain, which presseth hard upon them.

Ezekiel 21:15

The point of the sword - The threatening sword or terror; as in Genesis 3:24, “the flaming sword.”

And their ruins be multiplied - literally, “to the multiplication of stumblingblocks,” that is, so that the causes of their fall may be more numerous. Compare Jeremiah 46:16.

Made bright ... - Or,

Ah! It is prepared for a lightning-flash, Drawn for slaughter.

Ezekiel 21:16

The prophet addresses the sword,

Gather thyself up, O sword, to the right or to the left.

Another rendering is: “Turn thee backwards! get thee to the right! Set thee forwards (?)!get thee to the left! O whither is thy face appointed?

Ezekiel 21:17

The Lord smites together His hands in anger (marginal reference), man in consternation.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Ezekiel 21:12. Smite - upon thy thigh. — See on Jeremiah 31:19. So HOMER, Il. xv. ver. 113: -

Ὡς εφατ'· αυταρ Αρης θαλερω πεπληγετο μηρω

Χερσι καταπρηνεσσ,ολοφυρομενος δε προσηυδα.

"She spake; and, with expanded arms his thighs

Smiting, thus sorrowful the god exclaimed."

COWPER.
