"Sigh therefore, thou son of man; with the breaking of thy loins and with bitterness shalt thou sigh before their eyes." — Ezekiel 21:6 (ASV)
The prophet was directed to let the people see him sighing and prostrate, as a sign of the sorrow and weakness about to come upon the people.
The breaking of thy loins - The prostration of strength; the loins being the seat of strength.
