Exegesis

Finally, the infinitive construct lemasot otah mi-sharaseha {לְמַשְׂאֵת אוֹתָהּ מִשָּׁרָשֶׁיהָ | lə-maś-ʾōṯ ʾō-ṯāh mi-šā-rā-šê-hā} ‘to lift it up from its roots’ completes the vision of inevitable uprooting. The interplay of questions and verbs underscores the certainty of divine judgment.
