The Key Word — עַוָּ֥ה, 'a.Vahgenerated
The word עַוָּה ('avvah) is a noun meaning 'ruin' or 'overthrow.' It is used here to signify complete destruction, indicating a state of devastation that cannot be reversed. The parsing indicates it is a feminine singular noun, suggesting it carries a weight of significance in the context of the prophecy.
This term appears three times in the verse, emphasizing the certainty and totality of the destruction God will bring upon Jerusalem. The repetition serves to underscore the seriousness of the impending judgment.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, so the BSB is the wording every comparison below is made against.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The main verb of the verse is אֲשִׂימֶ֑נָּה, I will make it, which governs the entire sentence. It is followed by a series of noun phrases and clauses that elaborate on what will happen: the destruction and the conditions for restoration.
The structure emphasizes the finality of the destruction with the repeated phrase עַוָּה (ruin), setting the tone for the prophecy. The arrangement of clauses shows a clear cause-and-effect relationship between the destruction and the future arrival of the rightful judge.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
The Septuagint translates עַוָּה as ἐκ (ek), which means 'out of' or 'from,' suggesting a separation or removal. This choice may indicate a focus on the act of bringing about ruin rather than simply describing the state of ruin itself.
This translation choice reflects a broader interpretation of the Hebrew text, emphasizing the action of God in executing judgment rather than merely stating the outcome.

Matthew Poole1624–1679Matthew Poole's Commentary on the Holy BibleThis triplication of the threat speaks the certainty of the event, and also the gradual, successive troubles and overthrows that this kingdom should ever after be afflicted with. It shall be no more; never recover its former glory and strength, but consume, till the sceptre be quite taken away from Judah, and way be made for the Messiah, who is he that is to come, whose is the dominion, and to whom the Father will give it. So the final desolation of the temporal kingdom of the seed of David, which was most heavy tidings to the carnal Jews, is threatened, and the eternal kingdom of the Messiah, most joyful tidings to the believing Jews, is promised.

Charles John Ellicott1819–1905Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(27) And it shall be no more.—Literally, this also shall not be. After the emphatic repetition of “over-turn” at the beginning of the verse, it is now added that the condition which follows the overthrow shall not be permanent; “the foundations” shall be put “out of course,” and everything thrown into that condition of flux and change, without permanent settlement, which was so characteristic of the state of Judaea until the coming of Christ. Until he come whose right it is.—This is generally acknowledged as a reference to Genesis 49:10, “until Shiloh come” even by those who reject the interpretation of Shiloh as meaning “he to whom it belongs.” The promise here made refers plainly both to…

CambridgeThe Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges27. and it shall be no more] Or, yea this—it shall not be (or, it is gone!). “This” does not refer to the condition introduced by the overturning, but goes back and resumes the present condition of things, which shall be overturned till he comes who hath the right, the Messiah. On verb, cf. Isaiah 15:6; Job 6:21. until he come … give it him] Rather: and I will give it him. He whose right it is, or, he who hath the right, is the Messiah.
