כ (Kaf)
4:11The Lord fully vented40 his wrath;
he poured out his fierce anger.41
He started a fire in Zion;
it consumed her foundations.42
Footnotes
- 40 Heb “has completed.” The verb כִּלָּה (killah), Piel perfect 3rd person masculine singular from כָּלָה (kalah, “to complete”), has a range of closely related meanings: (1) “to complete, bring to an end,” (2) “to accomplish, finish, cease,” (3) “to use up, exhaust, consume.” Used in reference to God’s wrath, it describes God unleashing his full measure of anger so that divine justice is satisfied. This is handled admirably by several English versions: “The Lord has given full vent to his wrath” (), “The Lord gave full vent to his wrath” (, ), “The Lord vented all his fury” (), “The Lord turned loose the full force of his fury” (). Others miss the mark: “The Lord has accomplished his wrath/fury” (, , , ).
- 41 Heb “the heat of his anger.”
- 42 The term יְסוֹד (yésod, “foundation”) refers to the ground-level and below ground-level foundation stones of a city wall (Ps 137:7; Lam 4:11; Mic 1:6).
