TSNTyndale Study Notes:

1:21 the day you promised: The poet’s spirit was heartened by the belief that God would set up a day when everyone—oppressors and victims—would be judged justly (see Isa 13:6, 9; Jer 46:10-12, 27-28; Amos 5:18-20; Obad 1:15; 1 Thes 5:2-3; 2 Thes 2:2).

In this section Jerusalem is portrayed as a woman speaking about herself.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

“People have heard my groaning.” Jerusalem continues to speak as if she were a woman.

(Occurrence 0) you have done it

(Some words not found in UHB: heard that/for/because/then/when groaning I not comfort to=me all/each/any/every enemies,my heard trouble,my glad that/for/because/then/when you(ms) you(ms)_have_done/made bring day announced and,become like,me )
