Exegesis
The niphal imperfect yim-mâs {יִמָּס | yim-mâs} expresses reflexive melting or disintegration. The Hebrew poetic parallelism and future aspect are preserved in English by maintaining the twofold structure and the sense of impending collapse.
In context — Isaiah 13:7
Therefore all hands will become weak, and every human heart will melt.
