61 The words “though at this time” are supplied in the translation for clarification. The first half of the verse is addressed to Judah and contrasts the nation’s present weakness with its future prosperity. Judah is compared to a ship that is incapable of sailing.
62 Heb “they do not fasten the base of their mast.” On כֵּן (ken, “base”) see 487 III כֵּן and III כֵּן.
63 Or perhaps, “flag.”
64 Heb “then there will be divided up loot of plunder [in] abundance.”
65 Judah’s victory over its enemies will be so thorough there will be more than enough plunder for everyone, even slow-moving lame men who would normally get left out in the rush to gather the loot.

they do not hold the base of their mast firm,

they do not spread out the sail.

Then is the prey of a great spoil divided;

The lame take the prey.
