Exegesis
The verb mālēʾû {מָלְאוּ | mālēʾû} takes the object māṯənāy {מָתְנַי | māṯənāy} ‘my loins’, followed by ḥalḥālāh {חַלְחָלָה | ḥalḥālāh} ‘trembling’, specifying the physical seat of anguish.
In context — Isaiah 21:3
Therefore my loins are filled with anguish; pangs have seized me like the pangs of a woman in labor. I was bent over so that I could scarcely hear , and I was dismayed so that I could scarcely see .
