Exegesis
The abrupt contrast appears in the nominal phrase ned qatsir {נֵ֥ד קָצִ֛יר | nēḏ qā-ṣîr} ‘heap harvest,’ which is then situated within the extended temporal clause be-yom nakhala u-ke‘ev anush {בְּי֥וֹם נַחֲלָ֖ה וּכְאֵ֥ב אָנֽוּשׁ | bə-yōm na-ḥă-lāh û-ḵə-’êḇ ’ā-nûš} ‘in the day of grief and incurable pain.’ This sequence of causative verbs and nominal antithesis underscores the theological theme of sudden reversal from rapid growth to ruin.
Root and etymology
ק-צ-ר
“to harvest, reap”
In context — Isaiah 17:11
On the day you plant, you cause it to spring up , and in the morning you make your seed flourish; the harvest becomes a heap on the day of grief and incurable pain.
