Lamentations 3:56

3:56 You heard my plea:

“Do not close your ears to my cry for relief!”


tn The verb could be understood as a precative, “hear my plea,” parallel to the following volitive verb, “do not close.”

tn Heb “my voice.”

tn The preposition ל (lamed) continues syntactically from “my plea” in the previous line (e.g. Ex 5:2; Josh 22:2; 1 Sam 8:7; 12:1; Jer 43:4).
