Lamentations 3:9

Context

3:9 He has blocked 1  every road I take 2  with a wall of hewn stones;

he has made every path impassable. 3 

1 tn The verb גָּדַר (garad) has a two-fold 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 (dÿrakhay, “my roads”) in 3:9 clearly indicate that the second category of meaning is in view.

2 tn Heb “my roads.”

3 tn Heb “he had made my paths crooked.” The implication is that the paths by which one might escape cannot be traversed.
