Exegesis
tēʾānaḥ {הֵֽאָנַ֑ח … תֵּֽאָנַ֖ח | hēʾānaḥ … tēʾānaḥ} heightens intensity and suggests sustained, observable grief; the imperfect here functions as an instruction for continued performance rather than a mere prediction.
In context — Ezekiel 21:6
And you, Son of Man, sigh with the breaking of your loins, and with bitterness you shall sigh before their eyes.
