17 Every hand will go limp; every leg will be wet with urine.
17 All hands are feeble, and all knees turn to water.
17 "'Every hand hangs limp, every knee turns to rubber.
17 Every hand will be feeble, And every knee will be as weak as water.
17 Their hands will hang limp, their knees will be weak as water.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Ezekiel 7:17
Commentary on Ezekiel 7:16-22
(Read Ezekiel 7:16-22)
Sooner or later, sin will cause sorrow; and those who will not repent of their sin, may justly be left to pine away in it. There are many whose wealth is their snare and ruin; and the gaining the world is the losing of their souls. Riches profit not in the day of wrath. The wealth of this world has not that in it which will answer the desires of the soul, or be any satisfaction to it in a day of distress. God's temple shall stand them in no stead. Those are unworthy to be honoured with the form of godliness, who will not be governed by its power.
