Lamentations 3:11

Context

3:11 He has obstructed my paths 1  and torn me to pieces; 2 

he has made me desolate.

Lamentations 5:18

Context

5:18 For wild animals 3  are prowling over Mount Zion,

which lies desolate.

1 tn Or “he made my paths deviate.”

2 tn “Since the Heb. וַיְפַשְּׁחֵנִי (vaypashÿkheni) occurs only here, and the translation relies on the Syriac and the Targum, it is not certain that the image of God as a predatory animal continues into this verse especially since [the beginning of the verse] is also of uncertain meaning” (D. R. Hillers, Lamentations [AB], 54).

3 tn Heb “jackals.” The term “jackals” is a synecdoche of species (= jackals) for general (= wild animals).
