Interlinear Gloss

AD 1480

Ghimel- ‘fullness’; for due to the fullness of their sins, Judah has departed into captivity, through the accumulation of which she has provoked the vengeance of God. For otherwise God would not have delivered his cherished and glorious people to the disgrace of captivity, he who says that he cannot yet deliver the Amorites, as yet the iniquities of the Amorites are not at the full. because of her affliction- because she refused to carry the sweet yoke and light burden of the Lord. among the Gentiles- foreign; gentiles or demons or vices. found no- thus rest- with vices or demons threatening. all her persecutors- the lords, from whom they fled, have cruelly captured them; pursuing as a fugitive; Chaldeans, Romans. have taken her- distressed due to flight and affliction. midst of straits- of sins, of afflictions.
