Yahweh uses a question to make the people pay attention to what he is about to say. This rhetorical question can be translated as a statement. AT: "Now look at what is happening ... my people are again taken away for nothing." (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion]])

Possible meanings are 1) "for nothing" means the Babylonians took the people unjustly and without cause or 2) this continues the metaphor from [Isaiah 52:3](./02.md) where Yahweh is spoken of as if he owned the people of Israel and could give them away for nothing. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])
# Those who rule over them mock
This refers to the Babylonians who have conquered the people. However, some versions have, "Those who rule over them wail." For these versions, this passage refers to the leaders of the Israelites in captivity.
