Yehezkiel 21:7

21:7 When they ask you, ‘Why are you groaning?’ you will reply, ‘Because of the report that has come. Every heart will melt with fear and every hand will be limp; everyone ¹  will faint and every knee will be wet with urine.’ ²  Pay attention – it is coming and it will happen, declares the sovereign Lord.”

Yehezkiel 44:15

The Levitical Priests

44:15 “‘But the Levitical priests, the descendants of Zadok ³  who kept the charge of my sanctuary when the people of Israel went astray from me, will approach me to minister to me; they will stand before me to offer me the fat and the blood, declares the sovereign Lord.

[21:7]  ¹ tn Heb “every spirit will be dim.”

[21:7]  ² sn This expression depicts in a very vivid way how they will be overcome with fear. See the note on the same phrase in 7:17.

[44:15]  ³ sn Zadok was a descendant of Aaron through Eleazar (1 Chr 6:50-53), who served as a priest during David’s reign (2 Sam 8:17).
