Dan engkau anak manusia, katakanlah kepada kaum Israel: Kamu berkata begini: Pelanggaran kami dan dosa kami sudah tertanggung atas kami dan karena itu kami hancur; bagaimanakah kami dapat tetap hidup?
Sebab itu, hai anak Adam! katakanlah kepada bangsa Israel ini: Bahwa katamu demikian: Sesungguhnya kesalahan kami dan dosa kami amat berat dan makin lemah kami di bawahnya, entah bagaimana boleh kami hidup?

If our: The impenitent Jews seem to have charged the prophet's messages with inconsistency: for whilst he warned them to repent, and assured the penitent of forgiveness, he also predicted that the people "would pine away in their transgressions." The prediction, however, merely implied that God foresaw that the people in general would be impenitent, though some individuals would repent and be pardoned. Ezekiel 24:23, Leviticus 26:39
how: Ezekiel 37:11, Psalms 130:7, Isaiah 49:14, Isaiah 51:20, Jeremiah 2:25
Reciprocal: Leviticus 26:16 - consume 1 Kings 21:29 - I will not 2 Kings 6:33 - this evil is of the Lord Ezra 9:15 - in our trespasses Lamentations 4:9 - for Ezekiel 3:18 - the same Ezekiel 18:20 - righteousness 1 Corinthians 15:17 - ye are

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Therefore, O thou son of man, speak unto the house of Israel,.... Such of them as were with him in the captivity: thus ye speak, saying; reasoning and arguing within and among themselves; which the Lord heard, and made known to the prophet, who is bid to repeat it to them in order to give an answer:
if our transgressions and our sins be upon us, and we pine away in them; as the prophet said they should, Ezekiel 24:23, with which he had concluded his prophecies to them; and now they take it up, and argue against themselves, and against him; if our sins and transgressions are laid upon us, and we must answer for them; if the guilt of them is charged on us, and they are unexpiated and unatoned for; and the punishment of them is, or will be, inflicted on us, and we do, and must pine away, and be consumed in them, and by them:
how should we then live? as thou promisest us upon repentance; it is all over with us; there is no hope for us; what signify our repentance, or thy promises of life unto us? these things can never hang together, that we should live, and yet pine away in our sins; so that these are the words of persons both despairing, and making the prophet to say things opposite and contradictory, and which would not admit of a reconciliation; see Ezekiel 37:11.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Ezekiel 33:10. If our transgressions and our sins be upon us — They are upon us, as a grievous burden, too weighty for us to bear: how then can we live under such a load?
We pine away in them — In such circumstances how consoling is that word: "Come unto me, all ye who are heavy laden, and I will give you rest!"
