Footnotes
This verse is a rhetorical tour de force—six rapid-fire questions building an accumulating portrait of total misery. The Hebrew pairs *oy* (woe/alas) and *avoy* (grief/lament) as near-synonymous cries of anguish, before the devastating punchline arrives in v.30. The cumulative effect is almost darkly comic in its excess, and appears to be intentional. FOG preserves the crisp staccato rhythm of the questions; FOG Message expands each phrase slightly to maximise emotional impact and let each layer of suffering land with full weight.
