v. 6 Sigh therefore, son of man, with a breaking heart, and sigh with bitterness before their eyes.
v. 7 And it shall be when they say to you, "Why are you sighing?' that you shall answer, "Because of the news; when it comes, every heart will melt, all hands will be feeble, every spirit will faint, and all knees will be weak as water. Behold, it is coming and shall be brought to pass,' says the Lord GOD."

thanks for bringing this up, Paul....great review!
Joyce :)
Dave in Tenn:
A google search of ["all, specially"] churned up several instances of sentences with construction similar to the verse, denoting not exclusivity but inclusivity. In truth, I quit looking after I'd found a few. A search on ["all, especially"] did turn up more hits, the majority of which matched the meaning of the verse in unrelated contexts.
Even if you assume that current usage of 'specially' is sloppy or ungrammatical, test it on a group of 10-year-olds. "I have food for everybody, but specially for the birthday girl." Some may complain that it's unfair, but I am betting all of them will be expecting to chow down.
Lord, starve us if you have to, but make us willing to eat.

Thanks!
Paul:
By the way, why does Paul say most Jewish people are unruly and vain talkers in Titus 1:10?

Paul,
For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, out of everybody, not exclusively the jew"
Especially they of the circumcision [ this means what it says "especially of the jews"
Titus 1:10
It is no different than saying Many Americans have eaten grits, especially those [americans] in the south.
I'm quite sure you have a point to make, so lets hear it.
Peace
Chris R
