3:9He has blocked19 every road I take20 with a wall of hewn stones;
he has made every path impassable.21
Footnotes
- 19 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 collocated terms דְּרָכַי (dérakhay, “my roads”) in 3:9 clearly indicate that the second category of meaning is in view.
- 20 Heb “my roads.”
- 21 Heb “he had made my paths crooked.” The implication is that the paths by which one might escape cannot be traversed.
