Exegesis

Four parallel result clauses—wə-nāmās kol-lēḇ {וְנָמַס כָּל־לֵב | wə-nāmās kol-lēḇ} ‘every heart will melt’, wə-rāp̄û kol-yiddayîm {וְרָפוּ כָּל־יַדַּיִם | wə-rāp̄û kol-yiddayîm} ‘all hands will become feeble’, wə-hāḵāṯā kol-rûaḥ {וְכָהֲתָה כָּל־רוּחַ | wə-hāḵāṯā kol-rûaḥ} ‘every spirit will faint’, and wə-kol-birrăqāyîm tēlakkənāh māyim {וְכָל־בִּרְכַּיִם תֵּלַכְנָה מַיִם | wə-kol-birrăqāyîm tēlakkənāh māyim} ‘all knees will go like water’—employ syntactic parallelism to depict total collapse.

In context — Ezekiel 21:7

And when they say to you, “Why are you groaning?” you shall answer, “Because of the report, for it is drawing near: every heart will dissolve, all hands will hang limp; every spirit will sink, and all knees will flow down like water. Look, it is coming, and it will surely take place,” declares the Lord GOD .
