2:4In that day people will sing this taunt song to you—
they will mock you with this lament:10
‘We are completely destroyed;
they sell off11 the property of my people.
How they remove it from me!12
They assign our fields to the conqueror.’13
Footnotes
- 10 The form נִהְיָה (nihyah) should be omitted as dittographic (note the preceding וְנָהָה נְהִי vénahah néhiy). Heb “one will lament [with] a lamentation [and] say.”
- 11 Or “exchange.” The suggests a reading יִמַּד (yimmad) from מָדַד (madad, “to measure”). In this case one could translate, “the property of my people is measured out [i.e., for resale].”
- 12 Heb “how one removes for me.” Apparently the preposition has the nuance “from” here (cf. , , , , ).
- 13 The Hebrew term שׁוֹבֵב (shovev, “the one turning back”) elsewhere has the nuance “apostate” (cf. ) or “traitor” (cf. ). The translation assumes an emendation to שָׁבָה (shavah, “captor”). Heb “to the one turning back he assigns our fields.”

In that day shall one take up a parable against you,
