OET interlinear LAM 3:9

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

גָּדַ֤ר דְּרָכַ⁠י֙ בְּ⁠גָזִ֔ית

(Some words not found in UHB: blocked ways_of,my with,hewn_[stone] paths_of,my made_~_crooked )

Here the writer is speaking of his life direction as if it were a way or path, and of God blocking his progress as if God had walled up those ways with hewn stone. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [He has blocked every direction I try to go with solid obstacles]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

נְתִיבֹתַ֖⁠י עִוָּֽה

paths_of,my (Some words not found in UHB: blocked ways_of,my with,hewn_[stone] paths_of,my made_~_crooked )

Here the writer is speaking of his life direction as if it were paths, and of God confusing his plans as if God had made those paths crooked. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [he has confused every direction I try to go]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

גָּדַ֤ר דְּרָכַ⁠י֙ בְּ⁠גָזִ֔ית נְתִיבֹתַ֖⁠י עִוָּֽה

(Some words not found in UHB: blocked ways_of,my with,hewn_[stone] paths_of,my made_~_crooked )

These two phrases mean basically the same thing. The second emphasizes the meaning of the first by repeating the same idea with different words. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could combine them and express the emphasis in another way. Alternate translation: [He has thoroughly blocked every path I try to take]
