“Sigh therefore, thou son of man, with the breaking of thy loins; and with bitterness sigh before their eyes.”
The Lord God commands Ezekiel to sigh before the people with a broken heart and bitter grief, demonstrating the emotional weight of the judgment about to fall. The prophet is commanded to make visible and audible his grief, serving as a human embodiment of divine sorrow over the coming destruction. The broken heart and bitter weeping constitute the appropriate prophetic response to judgment.
