כִּֽי־הִנֵּה הַיּוֹם בָּא בֹּעֵר כַּתַּנּוּר וְהָיוּ כׇל־זֵדִים וְכׇל־עֹשֵׂה רִשְׁעָה קַשׁ וְלִהַט אֹתָם הַיּוֹם הַבָּא אָמַר יְהֹוָה צְבָאוֹת אֲשֶׁר לֹא־יַעֲזֹב לָהֶם שֹׁרֶשׁ וְעָנָֽף׃
For, behold, that day is coming; it burns like a furnace; and all the arrogant, and all who do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that is coming shall burn them up, says the Lord of hosts, so that it will leave them neither root nor branch.

שֹׁרֶשׁ וְעָנָף. ״בְּרָא וּבַר בְּרָא״.
neither root nor branch Neither son nor grandson
וְזָרְחָה לָכֶם יִרְאֵי שְׁמִי שֶׁמֶשׁ צְדָקָה וּמַרְפֵּא בִּכְנָפֶיהָ וִיצָאתֶם וּפִשְׁתֶּם כְּעֶגְלֵי מַרְבֵּֽק׃
But to you who fear my name the sun of righteousness shall arise with healing in its wings; and you shall go out, and leap like calves from the stall.
But to you who fear my name the sun of righteousness shall arise with healing in its wings; and you shall go out, and leap like calves from the stall.
Rashi
וּפִשְׁתֶּם. לְשׁוֹן ׳שֹׁמֶן׳, כְּמוֹ (ירמיהו נ:יא) ״כִּי תָפוּשׁוּ כְּעֶגְלָה דָשָׁה״.
and be fat an expression of fat, as in (Jer. 50: 11), “as you become fat, like a threshing heifer.”
מַרְבֵּק. הַנִּכְנֶסֶת לָרִבְקָה לְפַטֵּם, קופי״לא בְּלַעַ״ז.
as fatted calves [the calves] that enter the team to be fattened; kopla, cople in Old French: animals tied together.
וְעַסּוֹתֶם רְשָׁעִים כִּֽי־יִהְיוּ אֵפֶר תַּחַת כַּפּוֹת רַגְלֵיכֶם בַּיּוֹם אֲשֶׁר אֲנִי עֹשֶׂה אָמַר יְהֹוָה צְבָאֽוֹת׃ {פ}
And you shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet on the day that I do this, says the Lord of hosts.
And you shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet on the day that I do this, says the Lord of hosts.
Rashi
וְעַסּוֹתֶם. וּכְבַשְׁתֶּם. לְשׁוֹן מִעוּךְ, וְדוֹמֶה לוֹ: ״וְשָׁם עָשׂוּ דַּדֵּי בְּתוּלֵיהֶן״ (יחזקאל כג:ג).
And you shall crush and you shall press. This is an expression of pressing, similar to (Ezek. 23: 8) “they pressed their virgin breasts.”
כִּי הִנֵּה הַיּוֹם בָּא. יוֹם זֶה לְשׁוֹן שֶׁמֶשׁ הוּא, שֶׁכָּךְ אָמְרוּ חֲכָמִים: אֵין גֵּיהִנֹּם לֶעָתִיד לָבֹא, אֶלָּא הַקָּדוֹשׁ בָּרוּךְ הוּא מוֹצִיא חַמָּה מִנַּרְתִּיקָהּ, וּרְשָׁעִים נִדּוֹנִים בָּהּ, וְצַדִּיקִים מִתְרַפְּאִין בָּהּ. וְזֶהוּ שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר: ״וְזָרְחָה לָכֶם יִרְאֵי וְגוֹ׳״.
For lo, the sun comes This instance of יוֹם is an expression of sun, for so did the Sages state that there will be no Gehinnom in the future, but the Holy One, blessed be He, will take the sun out of its case; the wicked will be punished thereby and the righteous will be healed thereby. That is the meaning of what is stated (verse 20): “And the sun of mercy shall rise for you who fear My Name, etc.”
