# In bitterness groan

"With great grief" or "With great sorrow"

# before their eyes

Here the Israelites are referred to by their "eyes" to emphasize what they see. AT: "before them" or "before the Israelite people" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-synecdoche]])

# the news that is coming

This speaks of the "news" as if it were a person that was soon coming to them. AT: "the news that they will soon hear" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-personification]])

# for every heart will faint away

This speaks of people becoming afraid, as if their hearts were fainting. Also, this speaks of the people fainting as a result of fear. AT: "for everyone will become fearful" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-synecdoche]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])
