interjection of distress: alas! woe!
An exclamation expressing grief or impending disaster, appearing only in Ezekiel 30:2 where the prophet cries out concerning the day of the Lord's judgment against Egypt. The word conveys emotional intensity and dread, similar to the more common אֲהָהּ. Translations consistently capture the sense of anguish: 'alas' in English, '¡Ay!' in Spanish, and 'hélas!' in French, all preserving the interjection's emotional punch.

1. sense 1 — Appears in Ezekiel's oracle against Egypt, where the prophet commands his audience to 'howl' (הֵילִילוּ) and then cries 'alas for the day!' (הָהּ לַיּוֹם). The multilingual glosses all preserve the interjection's emotional force as an exclamation of woe. This rare form intensifies the prophetic announcement of divine judgment, expressing both distress at the coming catastrophe and the gravity of God's intervention. 1×
