10:30 Shout out, daughter of Gallim!
Pay attention, Laishah!
Answer her, Anathoth! 1
30:31 Indeed, the Lord’s shout will shatter Assyria; 2
he will beat them with a club.
42:2 He will not cry out or shout;
he will not publicize himself in the streets. 3
1 tc The Hebrew text reads “Poor [is] Anathoth.” The parallelism is tighter if עֲנִיָּה (’aniyyah,“poor”) is emended to עֲנִיהָ (’aniha, “answer her”). Note how the preceding two lines have an imperative followed by a proper name.
2 tn Heb “Indeed by the voice of the Lord Assyria will be shattered.”
3 tn Heb “he will not cause his voice to be heard in the street.”
