Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(11) I frame evil.--The verb chosen is that which specially describes the potter's work, and from which the Hebrew word for potter is itself derived. This, so to speak, is the shape of the vessel actually in hand, determining its use, but its form is not unalterably fixed. It is shown in terrorem, and the people are invited to accept the warning by repentance.Parallel Commentaries ...HebrewNow therefore,וְעַתָּ֡ה (wə·‘at·tāh)Conjunctive waw | AdverbStrong's 6258: At this timetellאֱמָר־ (’ĕ·mār-)Verb - Qal - Imperative - masculine singularStrong's 559: To utter, saythe menאִישׁ־ (’îš-)Noun - masculine singular constructStrong's 376: A man as an individual, a male personof Judahיְהוּדָה֩ (yə·hū·ḏāh)Noun - proper - masculine singularStrong's 3063: Judah -- 'praised', a son of Jacob, also the southern kingdom, also four Israelitesandוְעַל־ (wə·‘al-)Conjunctive waw | PrepositionStrong's 5921: Above, over, upon, againstresidentsיוֹשְׁבֵ֨י (yō·wō·šə·ḇê)Verb - Qal - Participle - masculine plural constructStrong's 3427: To sit down, to dwell, to remain, to settle, to marryof Jerusalemיְרוּשָׁלִַ֜ם (yə·rū·šā·lim)Noun - proper - feminine singularStrong's 3389: Jerusalem -- probably 'foundation of peace', capital city of all Israelthat this is whatכֹּ֚ה (kōh)AdverbStrong's 3541: Like this, thus, here, nowthe LORDיְהוָ֔ה (Yah·weh)Noun - proper - masculine singularStrong's 3068: LORD -- the proper name of the God of Israelsays:לֵאמֹ֗ר (lê·mōr)Preposition-l | Verb - Qal - Infinitive constructStrong's 559: To utter, say‘Behold,הִנֵּ֨ה (hin·nêh)InterjectionStrong's 2009: Lo! behold!Iאָנֹכִ֜י (’ā·nō·ḵî)Pronoun - first person common singularStrong's 595: Iam planningיוֹצֵ֤ר (yō·w·ṣêr)Verb - Qal - Participle - masculine singularStrong's 3335: To mould into a, form, as a, potter, to determinea disasterרָעָ֔ה (rā·‘āh)Adjective - feminine singularStrong's 7451: Bad, evilfor youעֲלֵיכֶם֙ (‘ă·lê·ḵem)Preposition | second person masculine pluralStrong's 5921: Above, over, upon, againstand devisingוְחֹשֵׁ֥ב (wə·ḥō·šêḇ)Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Participle - masculine singularStrong's 2803: To think, accounta planמַֽחֲשָׁבָ֑ה (ma·ḥă·šā·ḇāh)Noun - feminine singularStrong's 4284: A contrivance, a texture, machine, intention, planagainst you.עֲלֵיכֶ֖ם (‘ă·lê·ḵem)Preposition | second person masculine pluralStrong's 5921: Above, over, upon, againstTurnשׁ֣וּבוּ (šū·ḇū)Verb - Qal - Imperative - masculine pluralStrong's 7725: To turn back, in, to retreat, againnow,נָ֣א (nā)InterjectionStrong's 4994: I pray', 'now', 'then'each of you,אִ֚ישׁ (’îš)Noun - masculine singularStrong's 376: A man as an individual, a male personfrom your evilהָֽרָעָ֔ה (hā·rā·‘āh)Article | Adjective - feminine singularStrong's 7451: Bad, evilways,מִדַּרְכּ֣וֹ (mid·dar·kōw)Preposition-m | Noun - common singular construct | third person masculine singularStrong's 1870: A road, a course of life, mode of actionand correctוְהֵיטִ֥יבוּ (wə·hê·ṭî·ḇū)Conjunctive waw | Verb - Hifil - Imperative - masculine pluralStrong's 3190: To be good, well, glad, or pleasingyour waysדַרְכֵיכֶ֖ם (ḏar·ḵê·ḵem)Noun - common plural construct | second person masculine pluralStrong's 1870: A road, a course of life, mode of actionand deeds.?וּמַעַלְלֵיכֶֽם׃ (ū·ma·‘al·lê·ḵem)Conjunctive waw | Noun - masculine plural construct | second person masculine pluralStrong's 4611: A deed, practiceJump to PreviousAmend Device Devise Doings Evil Frame Good Inhabitants Jerusalem Judah Speak Way Ways
