Jerusalem Speaks:
ץ (Tsade)
1:18The Lord is right to judge me!112
Yes, I rebelled against his commands.113
Please listen, all you nations,114
and look at my suffering!
My young women and men
have gone into exile.
Footnotes
- 112 Heb “The Lord himself is right.” The phrase “to judge me” is not in the Hebrew, but is added in the translation to clarify the expression.
- 113 Heb “His mouth.” The term “mouth” (פֶּה, peh) is a metonymy of instrument (= mouth) for the product (= words). The term פֶּה (peh) often stands for spoken words (Ps 49:14; Eccl 10:3; Isa 29:13), declaration (Gen 41:40; Exod 38:21; Num 35:30; Deut 17:6; Ezra 1:1) and commands of God (Exod 17:1; Num 14:41; 22:18; Josh 15:13; 1 Sam 15:24; 1 Chr 12:24; Prov 8:29; Isa 34:16; 62:2). When the verb מָרָה (marah, “to rebel”) is used with the accusative direct object פֶּה (peh, “mouth”) to connote disobedience to God’s commandments (Num 20:24; 1 Sam 12:14, 15; 1 Kgs 13:21) ( 805 פֶּה 2.c).
- 114 The Kethib is written עַמִּים (’ammim, “peoples”), but the Qere, followed by many medieval Hebrew and the ancient versions ( and Aramaic ), read הָעַמִּים (ha’ammim, “O peoples”). The Qere is probably the original reading. Heb “O peoples.” Here Jerusalem addresses the peoples of the surrounding nations (note the use of “neighbors” in the preceding verse).
