ach is an interjection marking an exclamatory response, explicitly spoken concerning Israel’s abominations in Ezekiel 6:11.

As an interjection, ach marks an exclamatory utterance: Ezekiel 6:11 places it within the commanded response to the house of Israel’s harmful abominations, while its specific contribution in Ezekiel 21:20 is not isolated by the translation.
