נִשְׁאַ֥ר בָּעִ֖יר שַׁמָּ֑ה וּשְׁאִיָּ֖ה יֻכַּת־שָֽׁעַר׃
Pagkatiwangwang na lamang ang natira sa lunsod, at dahil sa pagkawasak ay giniba ang pintuang-bayan.
Rashi
Through desolation, the gate is battered Through the desolation of loneliness, that the houses are desolate, without an occupant, the gates shall become battered by demons and destructive creatures.
Ibn Ezra
ושאיה And with destruction. שאיה is a noun derived from שאה to be waste;comp. שואה desolation (10:3).
Ibn Ezra
In the city is left desolation. This phrase is used by the prophet improperly; comp. Better is he than both they, who hath not yet been (Eccles. 4:3).17Strictly speaking, he who has not yet been born cannot be better; in the same way שַׁמָּה desolation cannot be said to be left; because desolation is the negation of existence. Comp. I. E. on 2:11.
