Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(3) What seest thou, Jeremiah?--The question is asked as if to force the symbol as strongly as possible on the prophet's mind, leaving him to wait till another word of the Lord should come and reveal its true interpretation. We are reminded, as he must have been, of the vision and the question which had first called him to his work as a prophet (Jeremiah 1:11).Parallel Commentaries ...Hebrew“Jeremiah,”יִרְמְיָ֔הוּ (yir·mə·yā·hū)Noun - proper - masculine singularStrong's 3414: Jeremiah -- 'Yah loosens', the name of a number of Israelitesthe LORDיְהוָ֜ה (Yah·weh)Noun - proper - masculine singularStrong's 3068: LORD -- the proper name of the God of Israelasked,וַיֹּ֨אמֶר (way·yō·mer)Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Consecutive imperfect - third person masculine singularStrong's 559: To utter, say“whatמָֽה־ (māh-)InterrogativeStrong's 4100: What?, what!, indefinitely whatdo youאַתָּ֤ה (’at·tāh)Pronoun - second person masculine singularStrong's 859: Thou and thee, ye and yousee?”רֹאֶה֙ (rō·’eh)Verb - Qal - Participle - masculine singularStrong's 7200: To see“Figs!”תְּאֵנִ֑ים (tə·’ê·nîm)Noun - feminine pluralStrong's 8384: Of foreign derivation, the figI replied.וָאֹמַ֖ר (wā·’ō·mar)Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Consecutive imperfect - first person common singularStrong's 559: To utter, say“The goodהַטֹּבוֹת֙ (haṭ·ṭō·ḇō·wṯ)Article | Adjective - feminine pluralStrong's 2896: Pleasant, agreeable, goodfigsהַתְּאֵנִ֤ים (hat·tə·’ê·nîm)Article | Noun - feminine pluralStrong's 8384: Of foreign derivation, the figare veryמְאֹ֔ד (mə·’ōḏ)AdverbStrong's 3966: Vehemence, vehemently, wholly, speedilygood,טֹב֣וֹת (ṭō·ḇō·wṯ)Adjective - feminine pluralStrong's 2896: Pleasant, agreeable, goodbut the bad figsוְהָֽרָעוֹת֙ (wə·hā·rā·‘ō·wṯ)Conjunctive waw, Article | Adjective - feminine pluralStrong's 7451: Bad, evilare veryמְאֹ֔ד (mə·’ōḏ)AdverbStrong's 3966: Vehemence, vehemently, wholly, speedilybad,רָע֣וֹת (rā·‘ō·wṯ)Adjective - feminine pluralStrong's 7451: Bad, evilso badמֵרֹֽעַ׃ (mê·rō·a‘)Preposition-m | Noun - masculine singularStrong's 7455: Badness, evilthey cannotלֹא־ (lō-)Adverb - Negative particleStrong's 3808: Not, nobe eaten.”תֵאָכַ֖לְנָה (ṯê·’ā·ḵal·nāh)Verb - Nifal - Imperfect - third person feminine pluralStrong's 398: To eatJump to PreviousBad Badness Due Eaten Evil Figs Food Good Jeremiah Ones Poor Rottenness Seest Use
