New English Translation
9 He has blocked[a] every road I take[b] with a wall of hewn stones;
he has made every path impassable.[c]
Footnotes
- Lamentations 3:9 tn The verb גָּדַר (gadar) has a twofold 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 (derakhay, “my roads”) in 3:9 clearly indicate that the second category of meaning is in view.
- Lamentations 3:9 tn Heb “my roads.”
- Lamentations 3:9 tn Heb “he has made my paths crooked.” The implication is that the paths by which one might escape cannot be traversed.
