# Yahweh decided to destroy the city wall
Yahweh chose to have the wall destroyed and caused Jerusalem's enemy to destroy it. He did not destroy it himself. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metonymy]])
# daughter of Zion
This is a poetic name for Jerusalem, which is spoken of here as if it were a woman. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-personification]])
# He has stretched out the measuring line
This speaks of preparing to destroy the wall as if he measured it before he destroyed it, so that he knew how much to destroy. Alternate translation: "It is as though he has measured the wall" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]])
"It is as though he has measured the wall"
# has not withheld his hand from destroying
# has not withheld his hand from destroying the wall
The double negative here emphasizes the positive. Also, the word "hand" is a synecdoche for Yahweh himself. Alternate translation: "has used his hand to completely destroy" or "has himself completely destroyed" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-doublenegatives]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-synecdoche]])
"has used his hand to completely destroy the wall" or "has completely destroyed the wall"
# He has made the ramparts and wall to lament; together they wasted away
The walls and ramparts are spoken of as if they were people who lamented and died. Alternate translation: "Because he has destroyed the ramparts and walls, they are like people who lament and have lost their strength" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-personification]])
"Because he has destroyed the ramparts and walls, they are like people who lament and have lost their strength"
# ramparts
Ancient cities had a main "wall" to keep attackers out, and an outer line of "ramparts" to keep attackers from the wall.
These were outer protective walls to keep attackers from breaking into the city.
