A visceral term for the horror and dread that Ezekiel prophesies will come upon Jerusalem. The word suggests physical shuddering - skin crawling, trembling with fear. Related terms in Aramaic and Syriac connect it to the bodily response of terror that makes hair stand on end. This isn't abstract anxiety but gut-wrenching, body-shaking horror. Ezekiel describes a city seeking peace but finding only anguish, a comprehensive collapse that produces not just defeat but existential dread. The physical language makes judgment terrifyingly concrete - this fear you can feel in your bones.
