Cry and howl, son of man: for it shall be upon my people, it shall be upon all the princes of Israel: terrors by reason of the sword shall be upon my people: smite therefore upon thy thigh.
Terrors by reason of the sword shall be upon my people - rather, 'they (the princes of Israel) are delivered up to the sword together with my people.' х mªguwreey (H4048) is from maagar (H4048), to cast down to, or deliver up to (Glassius). The English version takes the Hebrew from guwr (H1481), to fear, with many interpreters.]
Smite therefore upon thy thigh - a mark of grief (Jeremiah 31:19).
