# Yahweh is righteous
|
|
|

This implies that what Yahweh has done, he has done because he is righteous. Alternate translation: "Yahweh has acted out of his righteousness" or "What Yahweh has done is right"

# Hear ... see

# see my sorrow

The word "sorrow" can be expressed as a "sad." Alternate translation: "see how extremely sad I am" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-abstractnouns]])

# My virgins and my vigorous men have gone into captivity
|
|
|
|
Here all of the people of Jerusalem who were taken into captivity are represented by the "virgins" and the "vigorous men" who were taken. Alternate translation: "Many of my people, including my virgins and vigorous men, have gone into captivity" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-synecdoche]])

# vigorous men

This refers to men at the strongest time of their lives. See how you translated this in [Lamentations 1:15](../01/15.md).
