Exegesis
The demonstrative zeh {זֶה | zeh} ‘this’ then headlines a paired construct chelek {חֵלֶק | ḥê-leq} ‘portion’ and goral {גוֹרָל | gō-ral} ‘lot’, a form of synonymous parallelism, each modified by participles shosenu {שׁוֹסֵינוּ | šō-sê-nû} ‘those who plunder us’ and levozezenu {לְבֹזְזֵינוּ | lə-bō-zze-nû} ‘those who rob us’. This pairing underscores the total ruin decreed for the aggressors, preserved through parallel English phrasing and the abrupt narrative shift.
In context — Isaiah 17:14
At the time of evening, behold terror ; before morning, it is no more. This is the portion of those who plunder us, and the lot of those who rob us.
