Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(27) Then will I kindle a fire . . .--The fire is figurative rather than literal: the "fierce anger" of the Lord which man cannot quench, and which brings destruction in its train, of which an actual conflagration may have been the instrument (Hosea 8:14; Amos 1:14). Compare Jeremiah 7:20; Jeremiah 21:14.Parallel Commentaries ...HebrewBut ifוְאִם־ (wə·’im-)Conjunctive waw | ConjunctionStrong's 518: Lo!, whether?, if, although, Oh that!, when, notyou do notלֹ֨א (lō)Adverb - Negative particleStrong's 3808: Not, nolistenתִשְׁמְע֜וּ (ṯiš·mə·‘ū)Verb - Qal - Imperfect - second person masculine pluralStrong's 8085: To hear intelligentlyto Meאֵלַ֗י (’ê·lay)Preposition | first person common singularStrong's 413: Near, with, among, toto keepלְקַדֵּשׁ֙ (lə·qad·dêš)Preposition-l | Verb - Piel - Infinitive constructStrong's 6942: To be set apart or consecratedthe Sabbathהַשַּׁבָּ֔ת (haš·šab·bāṯ)Article | Noun - common singularStrong's 7676: Intermission, the Sabbathday {holy}י֣וֹם (yō·wm)Noun - masculine singular constructStrong's 3117: A dayby notוּלְבִלְתִּ֣י ׀ (ū·lə·ḇil·tî)Conjunctive waw, Preposition-lStrong's 1115: A failure of, not, except, without, unless, besides, because not, untilcarryingשְׂאֵ֣ת (śə·’êṯ)Verb - Qal - Infinitive constructStrong's 5375: To lift, carry, takea loadמַשָּׂ֗א (maś·śā)Noun - masculine singularStrong's 4853: A burden, tribute, porterage, an utterance, chiefly a, doom, singing, mental, desirewhile enteringוּבֹ֛א (ū·ḇō)Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Infinitive constructStrong's 935: To come in, come, go in, gothe gatesבְּשַׁעֲרֵ֥י (bə·ša·‘ă·rê)Preposition-b | Noun - masculine plural constructStrong's 8179: An opening, door, gateof Jerusalemיְרוּשָׁלִַ֖ם (yə·rū·šā·lim)Noun - proper - feminine singularStrong's 3389: Jerusalem -- probably 'foundation of peace', capital city of all Israelon the Sabbathהַשַּׁבָּ֑ת (haš·šab·bāṯ)Article | Noun - common singularStrong's 7676: Intermission, the Sabbathday,בְּי֣וֹם (bə·yō·wm)Preposition-b | Noun - masculine singular constructStrong's 3117: A daythen I will kindleוְהִצַּ֧תִּי (wə·hiṣ·ṣat·tî)Conjunctive waw | Verb - Hifil - Conjunctive perfect - first person common singularStrong's 3341: To burn, set on fire, to desolatean unquenchableתִכְבֶּֽה׃ (ṯiḵ·beh)Verb - Qal - Imperfect - third person feminine singularStrong's 3518: To be quenched or extinguished, to go outfireאֵ֣שׁ (’êš)Noun - common singularStrong's 784: A firein its gatesבִּשְׁעָרֶ֗יהָ (biš·‘ā·re·hā)Preposition-b | Noun - masculine plural construct | third person feminine singularStrong's 8179: An opening, door, gateto consumeוְאָֽכְלָ֛ה (wə·’ā·ḵə·lāh)Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Conjunctive perfect - third person feminine singularStrong's 398: To eatthe citadelsאַרְמְנ֥וֹת (’ar·mə·nō·wṯ)Noun - masculine plural constructStrong's 759: A citadelof Jerusalem.??יְרוּשָׁלִַ֖ם (yə·rū·šā·lim)Noun - proper - feminine singularStrong's 3389: Jerusalem -- probably 'foundation of peace', capital city of all IsraelJump to PreviousBear Burden Carrying Devour Enter Entering Fire Gates Hallow Hearken Holy Jerusalem Kindle Load Obey Palaces Quenched Sabbath Thereof
