Verse 15
No wood "Its master" - I have here given the meaning, without attempting to keep to the expression of the original, עץ לא lo ets , "the no-wood;" that which is not wood like itself, but of a quite different and superior nature. The Hebrews have a peculiar way of joining the negative particle לא lo to a noun, to signify in a strong manner a total negation of the thing expressed by the noun.
"How hast thou given help ( כח ללא lelo choach ) to the no-strength?
And saved the arm ( עז לא lo oz ) of the no-power?
How hast, thou given counsel ( חכמה ללא lelo chochmah ) to the no-wisdom?"
Be the first to react on this!
