Exegesis
Two comparative similes—keger {כְּגֵר | kə-gēr} ‘like a stranger’ and ukoreach {וּכְאֹרֵחַ | û-kə-’ō-rē-aḥ} ‘and like a traveler’—form parallel structure, further elaborated by the participial clause nātāh lālûn {נָטָה לָלוּן | nā-ṭāh lā-lûn} ‘who turns aside to lodge’, which conveys transience. This construction contrasts Israel’s anticipated divine protection with the stark sense of alienation, intensifying the rhetorical pathos.
In context — Jeremiah 14:8
Hope of Israel, his Savior in time of trouble, why should You be like a stranger in the land, and like a traveler who turns aside to lodge?
