Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(17) I will utterly pluck up.--In this, as in the preceding verse, there is an obvious reference to the prophet's calling as described in Jeremiah 1:10, the self-same word being used as that which is there rendered "root out." The adverb "utterly" answers to the usual Hebrew reduplication of emphasis.Parallel Commentaries ...HebrewBut ifוְאִ֖ם (wə·’im)Conjunctive waw | ConjunctionStrong's 518: Lo!, whether?, if, although, Oh that!, when, notthey will notלֹ֣א (lō)Adverb - Negative particleStrong's 3808: Not, noobey,יִשְׁמָ֑עוּ (yiš·mā·‘ū)Verb - Qal - Imperfect - third person masculine pluralStrong's 8085: To hear intelligentlythen I will uprootוְנָ֨תַשְׁתִּ֜י (wə·nā·ṯaš·tî)Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Conjunctive perfect - first person common singularStrong's 5428: To pull or pluck up, root outthatהַה֛וּא (ha·hū)Article | Pronoun - third person masculine singularStrong's 1931: He, self, the same, this, that, as, arenation;הַגּ֥וֹי (hag·gō·w)Article | Noun - masculine singularStrong's 1471: A foreign nation, a Gentile, a troop of animals, a flight of locustsI will uproot itנָת֥וֹשׁ (nā·ṯō·wōš)Verb - Qal - Infinitive absoluteStrong's 5428: To pull or pluck up, root outand destroy it,”וְאַבֵּ֖ד (wə·’ab·bêḏ)Conjunctive waw | Verb - Piel - Infinitive absoluteStrong's 6: To wander away, lose oneself, to perishdeclaresנְאֻם־ (nə·’um-)Noun - masculine singular constructStrong's 5002: An oraclethe LORD.יְהוָֽה׃ (Yah·weh)Noun - proper - masculine singularStrong's 3068: LORD -- the proper name of the God of IsraelJump to PreviousAffirmation Completely Declares Destroy Destroying Destruction Ear Hear Hearken Nation Obey Pluck Plucked Plucking Uproot Uprooted Utterly
