Verse 4

take up a parable. Reference to Pentateuch (Numbers 23:7 , Numbers 23:18 ; Numbers 24:3 , Numbers 24:15 , Numbers 24:20 , Numbers 24:23 ). Twice in Job (Job 27:1 ; Job 29:1 ); once in Isaiah (Isaiah 14:4 ); once in Habakkuk (Habakkuk 2:6 ). Not elsewhere. App-92 . Note the Figure of speech Chleuasmos ( App-6 ).

lament with a doleful lamentation. Note the Figures of speech P olyptoton and Paronomasia ( App-6 ), for emphasis. Hebrew venahah nehi nihyah = wail a wailing of woe.

changed = changed [for the worse]. Hebrew. mur ; not halaph = changed [for the better]. See note on Leviticus 27:10 .

turning away = to a heathen: i.e. our enemy the Assyrian.
