Seluruh rakyatnya mengerang sambil mencari roti. Mereka menukarkan harta kesayangan mereka dengan makanan untuk memulihkan nyawa. “Lihatlah, ya Yang Mahakekal, dan perhatikanlah, sebab aku telah menjadi seorang pelahap.”
Tze'enah Ure'enah
“All the inhabitants” [1:11]. All the people of the city of Jerusalem sigh, they want bread. They give all of their treasures for food. Therefore, see God, I have become a glutton.8Glutton is a misinterpretation of the word “zolailah.” In this context it has the secondary meaning of worthless or despised.
