I always thought of the repeated “Lord” almost to be like, a mocking repetition of those who come running to you for advice or wisdom and then disregard it entirely when you don’t instantly solve all their problems.
Like “Oh yeah sure, you kids come running ‘Dad, dad!’ when you want something, but where are you when I need help in the garage?”
But there could be other interesting explanations. Never really thought of that!
Or it could be because of the weird old timey sentence structure. And it’s actually equivalent to:
Why do you call me (the Lord), “Lord”
Similar to “Why do you call me, your boss, ‘Boss’, but then don’t do the things I tell you to.”
Once to establish “I am Lord” and once to establish “And you call me that”.
Either way, it’s a translation, and not the original text anyway. So I dont know why people feel the need to put borderline gibberish on the side of their car.
