Exegesis
This is immediately echoed by tzneifah {צְנֵפָ֔ה | ṣənêp̄āh} ‘a winding,’ then qualified by the simile kadur {כַּדּ֕וּר | kaddūr} ‘like a ball.’
In context — Isaiah 22:18
Surely He will utterly wind you up, wrapping you like a ball and hurling you into a land of broad expanses; there you shall die, and there your glorious chariots will become the disgrace of your lord’s house.
