Sigh; thereby express to them deepest sorrows for what is present, and most piercing fears of what is to come. With the breaking of thy loins; like a woman in travail, or as one whose griefs are ready to break his heart, Isaiah 21:3. With bitterness; with all sorts of the most bitter cries and tears. Before their eyes who were now with him in Babylon, and who, as they easily could, so surely would, send word to them in Jerusalem and Judea.

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