Lamentations 3:45

Context

3:45 You make us like filthy scum 1 

in the estimation 2  of the nations.

1 tn Heb “offscouring and refuse.” The two nouns סְחִי וּמָאוֹס (sÿkhi umaos) probably form a nominal hendiadys, in which the first noun functions as an adjective and the second retains its full nominal sense: “filthy refuse,” i.e., “filthy scum.”

2 tn Heb “in the midst of.”
