Ezekiel 21:14 continues the scene with 'smite thine hands' — both verses use symbolic actions (thigh/hands) to express grief over the sword.

In Ezekiel 21:6, the prophet sighs bitterly; here he is told to cry and howl — both are prophetic lament actions over coming judgment.

Ezekiel 6:11 commands smiting hand and stamping foot in lament; here smiting the thigh — both are prophetic gestures of anguish over judgment.

Ezekiel 30:2 also commands 'Howl ye' in judgment against Egypt, using the same lament vocabulary as this call to howl over Israel's sword.

Ezekiel 9:8 shows the prophet crying out over God's slaughter; here he is commanded to cry and howl over the sword — similar lament for judgment.

In Zephaniah 1:11, inhabitants are called to wail because judgment cuts off traders, paralleling the cry in Ezekiel 21:12.

Joel 1:13 calls priests to 'howl' over withheld offerings; here the command to howl is over the sword — both lament divine judgment.

Micah 1:8 has the prophet wail and howl over judgment; this command to cry and howl echoes that same prophetic lament tradition.
