So also the second branch may be interpreted, And shake ⟨p. 229⟩mine head at you, or over you: For to shake the head, notes pity and compassion;1 to shake the head is the posture of those who mourn with, or for their Friends. Hence the word is translated to bemoan (Nah. 3.7.) Who will bemoan him (Chap. 42.11.) Jobs Friends came to bemoan him; 'tis this word, They came to shake their heads over him, because of all the evil which the Lord had brought upon him. One of the Ancients makes this exposition, the Text, I would have shaken my head over you bemoaningly, or with compassion: The same word may well signify to shake the head, and to pity, seeing they who pity others, use to shake their heads over them, and say, Ah my Friend, or Ah my Brother.
