ג (Gimel)
3:7He has walled me in14 so that I cannot get out;
he has weighted me down with heavy prison chains.15
Footnotes
- 14 The verb גָּדַר (garad) has a two-fold range of meanings: (1) “to build up a wall” with stones, and (2) “to block a road” with a wall of stones. The imagery depicts the Lord building a wall to seal off personified Jerusalem with no way of escape out of the city, or the Lord blocking the road of escape. Siege imagery prevails in 3:4–6, but 3:7–9 pictures an unsuccessful escape that is thwarted due to blocked roads in 3:7 and 3:9.
- 15 Heb “he has made heavy my chains.”
