כִּֽי־הִנֵּה יְהֹוָה מְצַוֶּה וְהִכָּה הַבַּיִת הַגָּדוֹל רְסִיסִים וְהַבַּיִת הַקָּטֹן בְּקִעִֽים׃
For, behold, the Lord commands, and he will smite the great house into splinters, and the little house into chips.
For, behold, the Lord commands, and he will smite the great house into splinters, and the little house into chips.
Rashi
בקיעים. גדולים מרסיסים לפי חשיבותו תהי מכתו כן תרגום יונתן וימחי מלכו רבא מחא תקיפא ומלכו זעירא מחא חלשא:
chips—Larger than splinters. According to its prominence, shall be its destruction. In this manner did Jonathan render: And he shall smite the large kingdom with a mighty blow, and the small kingdom with a weak blow.
הַיְרֻצוּן בַּסֶּלַע סוּסִים אִֽם־יַחֲרוֹשׁ בַּבְּקָרִים כִּֽי־הֲפַכְתֶּם לְרֹאשׁ מִשְׁפָּט וּפְרִי צְדָקָה לְלַעֲנָֽה׃
Do horses run upon the rock? does one plough there with oxen? for you have turned judgment into gall, and the fruit of righteousness into wormwood:
Do horses run upon the rock? does one plough there with oxen? for you have turned judgment into gall, and the fruit of righteousness into wormwood:
Rashi
הירוצון בסלע סוסים. כלום יעמדו במרוצתם בשנותם סדורו של עולם:
Will horses run on the rock—I.e, will they maintain their running when they change the order of the world?
אם יחרוש. אדם בבקרים. בסלע שאתם סבורים לשנות דרך הטובה ותתקיימו ותצליחו:
or will one plow—[I.e.] will a man [plow] with oxen on the rock, that you think to pervert the good way and survive and prosper?
הַשְּׂמֵחִים לְלֹא דָבָר הָאֹמְרִים הֲלוֹא בְחׇזְקֵנוּ לָקַחְנוּ לָנוּ קַרְנָֽיִם׃
you who rejoice in a thing of nought, who say, Have we not taken to us horns by our own strength?
you who rejoice in a thing of nought, who say, Have we not taken to us horns by our own strength?
Rashi
ללא דבר. על גדולתם ועושרם שאינו כלום שלא יתקיים:
over a thing of naught—Over their greatness and their wealth, which is nought, since it will not endure.
קרנים. חוזק וגבורה לנגח בקרנים עניים ואביונים:
horns—Strength and might to gore the poor and needy with the horns.
כִּי הִנְנִי מֵקִים עֲלֵיכֶם בֵּית יִשְׂרָאֵל נְאֻם־יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהֵי הַצְּבָאוֹת גּוֹי וְלָחֲצוּ אֶתְכֶם מִלְּבוֹא חֲמָת עַד־נַחַל הָעֲרָבָֽה׃ {פ}
For, behold, I will raise up against you a nation, O house of Yisra᾽el, says the Lord the God of hosts; and they shall afflict you from the entrance of Ḥamat to the wadi of the ῾Arava.

Rashi
מלבא חמת. שהוא במקצוע צפונית מערבית של ארץ ישראל:
from the approach to Hamath—which is in the northwestern corner of Eretz Israel.
עד נחל הערבה. נחל מצרים שהוא במקצוע דרומית מערבית:
until the brook of the Arabah—The brook of Egypt, which is in the southwestern corner.
רסיסים. שיהא מרוסס לבקיעות דקות:
into splinters—That it shall be splintered into fine chips.
