הוֹי עִיר דָּמִים כֻּלָּהּ כַּחַשׁ פֶּרֶק מְלֵאָה לֹא יָמִישׁ טָֽרֶף׃
Woe to the bloody city! it is all full of lies and robbery; the prey departs not;
Woe to the bloody city! it is all full of lies and robbery; the prey departs not;
Rashi
לֹא יָמִישׁ טָרֶף. מִתּוֹכָהּ תָּמִיד.
the prey departs not—from its [i.e., the city’s] midst, it will never depart.
קוֹל שׁוֹט וְקוֹל רַעַשׁ אוֹפָן וְסוּס דֹּהֵר וּמֶרְכָּבָה מְרַקֵּדָֽה׃
The noise of a whip, and the noise of the rattling of the wheels, and of prancing horses, and bounding chariots.
The noise of a whip, and the noise of the rattling of the wheels, and of prancing horses, and bounding chariots.
Rashi
קוֹל שׁוֹט. לְהַכּוֹת סוּסִים הָיָה נִשְׁמָע בָּהּ תָּמִיד.
The sound of the scourge—The sound of striking the horses was always heard therein.
וְקוֹל רַעַשׁ. אוֹפַנֵּי מַרְכָּבוֹת.
and the sound of the noise—of the wheels of the chariots.
וְסוּס דֹּהֵר. דּוֹלֵג וּמְקַפֵּץ, וְכֵן ״מִדַּהֲרוֹת דַּהֲרוֹת אַבִּירָיו״ (שופטים ה:כב).
and galloping horses Heb. דֹּהֵר, skipping and jumping. And so it is in (Jud. 5:22) “By reason of the prancings, the prancings of their mighty ones.”
פָּרָשׁ מַעֲלֶה וְלַהַב חֶרֶב וּבְרַק חֲנִית וְרֹב חָלָל וְכֹבֶד פָּגֶר וְאֵין קֵצֶה לַגְּוִיָּה (יכשלו) [וְכָשְׁלוּ] בִּגְוִיָּתָֽם׃
The horseman leaps up with his bright sword and glittering spear: and there is a multitude of slain, and a heap of carcasses; and there is no end of corpses; they stumble upon their corpses:
The horseman leaps up with his bright sword and glittering spear: and there is a multitude of slain, and a heap of carcasses; and there is no end of corpses; they stumble upon their corpses:
Rashi
וְלַהַב חֶרֶב. רולימל״א בְּלַעַ״ז, כִּי סַכִּין וְחֶרֶב קָרוּי ׳לַהַב׳, כְּמוֹ (שם ד:כב) ״וַיָּבֹא הַנִּצָּב אַחַר הַלַּהַב״.
and the blade of the sword Heb. וְלַהַב ; lame in French; for a knife and a sword are called לַהַב. [Some mss. have: The blade of every sword is called: לַהַב, as in (Jud. 3:22) “And the haft also went in after the blade (הַלַהַב).”
וּבְרַק חֲנִית. חֲנִית מְרוּטָה וּמַבְרֶקֶת, אוֹר יוֹצֵא מִמֶּנָּה, פלנדו״ר בְּלַעַ״ז.
and the burnished spear—A burnished spear, with the light glittering from it. Splendor in O.F, a shine.
וְכֹבֶד פָּגֶר. הָיוּ מַרְבִּים פְּגָרִים וְלֹא הָיָה חֶשְׁבּוֹן לִגְוִיּוֹת נִבְלוֹתֶיהָ הַמֻּשְׁלָכוֹת בָּהּ, עַד שֶׁהָיוּ הָעוֹבְרִים נִכְשָׁלִים בִּגְוִיּוֹת הַפְּגָרִים.
yea, the heaps of corpses—They would make many corpses, and there was no count of the bodies of the dead cast therein, to the extent that the passersby would stumble on the bodies of the dead.
מֵרֹב זְנוּנֵי זוֹנָה טוֹבַת חֵן בַּעֲלַת כְּשָׁפִים הַמֹּכֶרֶת גּוֹיִם בִּזְנוּנֶיהָ וּמִשְׁפָּחוֹת בִּכְשָׁפֶֽיהָ׃
because of the multitude of the harlotries of the charming and bewitching harlot, that sells nations through her lewd practices, and families through her witchcrafts.
because of the multitude of the harlotries of the charming and bewitching harlot, that sells nations through her lewd practices, and families through her witchcrafts.
Rashi
מֵרֹב זְנוּנֵי זוֹנָה. מֵרֹב חֲנוּפוֹת עִיר שֶׁהָיוּ יוֹדְעִים לְפַתּוֹת לֵב מַלְכֵי הָאָרֶץ לְהִתְחַבֵּר עִמָּם, וְסוֹף הָיוּ כּוֹבְשִׁים אוֹתָם תַּחְתֵּיהֶם.
Because of the many harlotries of the harlot—Because of the extensive flattery of the city, for they knew how to seduce the kings of the earth to join them, and they would eventually subordinate [these kings] to them.
הִנְנִי אֵלַיִךְ נְאֻם יְהֹוָה צְבָאוֹת וְגִלֵּיתִי שׁוּלַיִךְ עַל־פָּנָיִךְ וְהַרְאֵיתִי גוֹיִם מַעְרֵךְ וּמַמְלָכוֹת קְלוֹנֵֽךְ׃
Behold, I am against thee, says the Lord of hosts; and I will uncover thy skirts upon thy face, and I will show the nations thy nakedness, and the kingdoms thy shame.
Behold, I am against thee, says the Lord of hosts; and I will uncover thy skirts upon thy face, and I will show the nations thy nakedness, and the kingdoms thy shame.
Rashi
שׁוּלַיִךְ. הֵם שִׁפּוּלֵי בִּגְדֵי הָאִשָּׁה.
your skirts Heb. שׁוּלַיִךְ. They are the hems of a woman’s garments.
מַעְרֵךְ. גִּלּוּיֵךְ, כְּמוֹ (מיכה א:יא) ״עֶרְיָה בֹשֶׁת״.
your nakedness Heb. מַעֲרֵךְ, your exposure, as in (Micah 1:11) “With your private parts exposed (עֶרְיָה).”
וְהִשְׁלַכְתִּי עָלַיִךְ שִׁקֻּצִים וְנִבַּלְתִּיךְ וְשַׂמְתִּיךְ כְּרֹֽאִי׃
And I will cast abominable filth upon thee, and make thee vile, and will make thee like dung.
And I will cast abominable filth upon thee, and make thee vile, and will make thee like dung.
Rashi
שִׁקֻּצִים. בְּגָדִים צוֹאִים הַמְנַוְּלִים אוֹתָךְ. לְפִי הָעִנְיָן שֶׁדִּמָּה אוֹתָהּ לְזוֹנָה, דִּבֵּר הַכָּתוּב.
detestable things—Filthy garments, which make you detestable. Scripture speaks according to the topic, for he [Nahum] compared her [Nineveh] to a harlot.
כְּרֹאִי. כְּזֶבֶל, לְשׁוֹן ״וְהֵסִיר אֶת מֻרְאָתוֹ בְּנֹצָתָהּ״ (ויקרא א:טז).
like dung Heb. כְּרֹאִי. Like dung, an expression like (Lev. 1:16) “And he shall remove its crop (מֻרְאָתוֹ) with its intestines.”
וְהָיָה כׇל־רֹאַיִךְ יִדּוֹד מִמֵּךְ וְאָמַר שׇׁדְּדָה נִֽינְוֵה מִי יָנוּד לָהּ מֵאַיִן אֲבַקֵּשׁ מְנַחֲמִים לָֽךְ׃
And it shall come to pass, that all they that look upon thee shall flee from thee, and say, Nineve is laid waste: who will bemoan her? whence shall I seek comforters for thee?
And it shall come to pass, that all they that look upon thee shall flee from thee, and say, Nineve is laid waste: who will bemoan her? whence shall I seek comforters for thee?
Rashi
יִדּוֹד מִמֵּךְ. יִתְרַחֵק מִמֵּךְ.
shall wander away from you—Shall distance himself from you.
הֲתֵֽיטְבִי מִנֹּא אָמוֹן הַיֹּֽשְׁבָה בַּיְאֹרִים מַיִם סָבִיב לָהּ אֲשֶׁר־חֵיל יָם מִיָּם חוֹמָתָֽהּ׃
Art thou better than No-amon, that was situated among the rivers, that had the waters round about it, whose rampart was the sea, and her wall was from the sea?
Art thou better than No-amon, that was situated among the rivers, that had the waters round about it, whose rampart was the sea, and her wall was from the sea?
Rashi
הֲתֵיטְבִי מִנֹּא אָמוֹן. וּמַה תִּבְטְחִי בְּעָשְׁרֵךְ וּבִגְבוּרָתֵךְ, וְכִי גְּדוֹלָה אַתְּ מִנֹּא, הִיא אֲלֶכְּסַנְדְּרִיָּה שֶׁל מִצְרַיִם, אָמוֹן לְשׁוֹן ׳פְּדַגוֹג׳, מִנֹּא הַגְּדוֹלָה שֶׁהָיְתָה אוֹמֶנֶת מַלְכֵי מִצְרַיִם, דִּמְרַבֵּי בָּהּ מַלְכּוּ.
Are you better than No-amon—Why should you rely on your wealth and your might? Are you greater than No-amon? That is, Alexandria of Egypt. Amon is an expression of a pedagogue. [Are you greater] than the great No, which trained the kings of Egypt, for they would anoint the kings there?
אֲשֶׁר חֵיל יָם. אֲשֶׁר הָיָה הַיָּם לָהּ לְחַיִל וּלְחוֹמָה, שׁוּרָא וּבַר שׁוּרָא.
whose wall was the sea to whom the sea was their rampart and their wall. [This mode of construction is known in Aramaic as] שורה ובר שורה, a wall and the son of a wall [referring to a large wall on the outside, opposite an inside of which is built a small wall].
כּוּשׁ עׇצְמָה וּמִצְרַיִם וְאֵין קֵצֶה פּוּט וְלוּבִים הָיוּ בְּעֶזְרָתֵֽךְ׃
Kush the mighty, and Miżrayim without end; Put and Luvim were thy help;
Kush the mighty, and Miżrayim without end; Put and Luvim were thy help;
Rashi
כּוּשׁ עָצְמָה. כּוּשִׁים הָיוּ לָהּ לְחֹזֶק.
Cush was [its] strength—The Cushites were its strength.
פּוּט וְלוּבִים הָיוּ בְּעֶזְרָתֵךְ. וְהַפּוּטִים וְהַלּוּבִים אֲשֶׁר הָיוּ בְּעֶזְרָתֵךְ, גַּם הֵם הָיוּ בְּחֵילָהּ.
Put and the Lubim—The Putim and the Lubim, who were your helpers, were also in her [Assyria’s] army.
גַּם־הִיא לַגֹּלָה הָלְכָה בַשֶּׁבִי גַּם עֹלָלֶיהָ יְרֻטְּשׁוּ בְּרֹאשׁ כׇּל־חוּצוֹת וְעַל־נִכְבַּדֶּיהָ יַדּוּ גוֹרָל וְכׇל־גְּדוֹלֶיהָ רֻתְּקוּ בַזִּקִּֽים׃
yet she went into Exile, into captivity: her young children also were dashed in pieces at the top of all the streets: and they cast lots for her honourable men, and all her great men were bound in chains.
yet she went into Exile, into captivity: her young children also were dashed in pieces at the top of all the streets: and they cast lots for her honourable men, and all her great men were bound in chains.
Rashi
גַּם הִיא לַגּוֹלָה הָלְכָה. אַף הִיא הָלְכָה בַּגּוֹלָה, אַף עַל פִּי כֵן גְּדֻלָּתָהּ לֹא עָמְדָה לִפְנֵי נְבוּכַדְנֶצַּר.
She, too, went into exile—She, too, went into exile. Nevertheless, their greatness did not stand up before Nebuchadnezzar.
רֻתְּקוּ. נִכְבְּלוּ, לְשׁוֹן ״רְתֻקוֹת כֶּסֶף״ (ישעיהו מ:יט), ״עֲשֵׂה הָרַתּוֹק״ (יחזקאל ז:כג), שַׁלְשְׁלָאוֹת.
were bound Heb. רֻתְּקוּ, were fettered; an expression similar to (Isa. 40:19) “And chains (וּרְתֻּקוֹת) of silver” and (Ezek. 7:23) “Make the chain (הָרַתּוֹק),” meaning a chain.
בַּזִּקִּים. שַׁלְשְׁלָאוֹת.
in chains Heb. בַזִּקִּים, chains.
גַּם־אַתְּ תִּשְׁכְּרִי תְּהִי נַעֲלָמָה גַּם־אַתְּ תְּבַקְשִׁי מָעוֹז מֵאוֹיֵֽב׃
Thou also shalt be drunken: thou shalt be dazed, thou also shalt seek a refuge from the enemy.
Thou also shalt be drunken: thou shalt be dazed, thou also shalt seek a refuge from the enemy.
Rashi
גַּם אַתְּ. אַף לְפִי גְּדֻלָּתֵךְ תִּשְׁכְּרִי כְּמוֹתָהּ בְּכוֹס הַתַּרְעֵלָה וְתִהְיֶה נֶעֱלָמָה.
You, too—(Even) according to your greatness, [you] shall become drunk like her with the cup of weakness (Cf. Isa. 51:17), and you shall disappear.
כׇּל־מִבְצָרַיִךְ תְּאֵנִים עִם־בִּכּוּרִים אִם־יִנּוֹעוּ וְנָפְלוּ עַל־פִּי אוֹכֵֽל׃
All thy strongholds shall be like fig trees with the first ripe figs: if they are shaken, then they fall into the mouth of the eater.
All thy strongholds shall be like fig trees with the first ripe figs: if they are shaken, then they fall into the mouth of the eater.
Rashi
כָּל מִבְצָרַיִךְ תְּאֵנִים עִם בִּכּוּרִים. כָּל עָרֵי מִבְצָרֶיךָ יִהְיוּ נוֹחִים לִכָּבֵשׁ וְלָבֹז מַה שֶּׁבְּתוֹכָהּ, כְּאִילָנֵי תְאֵנִים, וּכְשֶׁהֵן עִם בִּכּוּרוֹת מְבֻשֶּׁלֶת שֶׁבָּהֶם, שֶׁכְּשֶׁמְּנִיעִים הָאִילָן נוֹפְלִים הַבִּכּוּרִים לְתוֹךְ פִּי הָאוֹכְלִים.
All your fortresses—It shall be easy to conquer all your fortified cities and to ravage all that is in their midst, like the fig trees when they are with their first ripe fruits; when the tree is shaken, the first ripe fruits fall into the mouth of the eaters.
תְּאֵנִים. אִילָנֵי תְאֵנִים.
fig trees Heb. תְּאֵנִים, fig trees.
אִם יִנּוֹעוּ. אֲשֶׁר אִם יִנּוֹעוּ בְּיַד אָדָם בְּחָזְקָה.

הִנֵּה עַמֵּךְ נָשִׁים בְּקִרְבֵּךְ לְאֹיְבַיִךְ פָּתוֹחַ נִפְתְּחוּ שַׁעֲרֵי אַרְצֵךְ אָכְלָה אֵשׁ בְּרִיחָֽיִךְ׃
Behold, thy people in the midst of thee are women: the gates of thy land are set wide open to thy enemies: the fire has devoured thy bars.
Behold, thy people in the midst of thee are women: the gates of thy land are set wide open to thy enemies: the fire has devoured thy bars.
מֵי מָצוֹר שַֽׁאֲבִי־לָךְ חַזְּקִי מִבְצָרָיִךְ בֹּאִי בַטִּיט וְרִמְסִי בַחֹמֶר הַחֲזִיקִי מַלְבֵּֽן׃
Draw thee waters for the siege, fortify thy strongholds: go into the clay, and tread the mortar, take hold of the brick mould.
Draw thee waters for the siege, fortify thy strongholds: go into the clay, and tread the mortar, take hold of the brick mould.
Rashi
מֵי מָצוֹר שַׁאֲבִי לָךְ. עִיר שֶׁבָּאִים לָצוּר עָלֶיהָ, אוֹסְפִים לָהֶם בְּנֵי הָעִיר מַיִם רַבִּים לְתוֹכָהּ בְּתוֹךְ חֲבִיּוֹת לִשְׁתּוֹת בִּימֵי הַמָּצוֹר, כְּשֶׁאֵין בְּתוֹכָהּ בּוֹרוֹת.
Draw siege water for yourself—When a city is about to be besieged, the people of the city gather much water into its midst in barrels, [so that they will have water] to drink during the days of the siege, when there are no cisterns within it [the city].
בֹּאִי בְּטִיט וְרִמְסִי. אוֹתוֹ לַעֲשׂוֹת מִמֶּנּוּ לְבֵנִים, כְּדֵי לְחַזֵּק בּוֹ בִּדְקֵי הַחוֹמוֹת.
come into the clay and tread—it, to make bricks therefrom, in order to strengthen the cracks in the wall.
הַחֲזִיקִי מַלְבֵּן. אַחֲזִי בְּיָדֵךְ הַמַּלְבֵּן הֶעָשׂוּי לִדְפוּס הַלְּבֵנִים לִלְבֹּן בְּתוֹכָהּ.
grasp the brickmold—Hold the brickmold, which is made for a mold of the bricks in your hand, to make bricks in it.
שָׁם תֹּאכְלֵךְ אֵשׁ תַּכְרִיתֵךְ חֶרֶב תֹּאכְלֵךְ כַּיָּלֶק הִתְכַּבֵּד כַּיֶּלֶק הִֽתְכַּבְּדִי כָּאַרְבֶּֽה׃
There shall the fire devour thee; the sword shall cut thee off, it shall eat thee up like the locust: be swept away as with the locust, be swept away as with the swarming locust.
There shall the fire devour thee; the sword shall cut thee off, it shall eat thee up like the locust: be swept away as with the locust, be swept away as with the swarming locust.
Rashi
הִתְכַּבֵּד. בְּמַטְאֲטֵי הַשְׁמֵד.
You shall be swept away Heb. הִתְכַּבֵּד, with a broom of destruction.
כַּיֶּלֶק. הַגּוֹמֵר וּמְכַלֶּה כָּל יֶרֶק הַשָּׂדֶה, וְיֵשׁ פּוֹתְרִין ״הִתְכַּבֵּד כַּיֶּלֶק״ – תִּתְכַּסִּי בְּכֹבֶד גְּיָסוֹת כְּיֶלֶק, וְ״הִתְכַּבֵּד״ לְשׁוֹן עַם כָּבֵד.
like the nibbling locust—which finishes and destroys completely all the vegetation of the field. Some interpret: -Heb. הִתְכַּבֵּד כַּיָּלֶק. You shall be covered heavily with troops like the nibbling locust, wherein הִתְכַּבֵּד is an expression of a heavy people (עַם כֶּבֶד).
הִרְבֵּית רֹכְלַיִךְ מִכּוֹכְבֵי הַשָּׁמָיִם יֶלֶק פָּשַׁט וַיָּעֹֽף׃
Thou hast multiplied thy merchants above the stars of heaven: the locust spreads itself, and flies away.
Thou hast multiplied thy merchants above the stars of heaven: the locust spreads itself, and flies away.
Rashi
יֶלֶק פָּשַׁט וַיָּעֹף. יִהְיוּ קַלִּים לָצֵאת בִּסְחוֹרָה כְּיֶלֶק שֶׁפּוֹשֵׁט וְעוֹף.
the nibbling locust spreads out and flies away—They will swiftly go out for commerce like the locust that spreads out [its wings] and flies.
מִנְּזָרַיִךְ כָּֽאַרְבֶּה וְטַפְסְרַיִךְ כְּגוֹב גֹּבָי הַחוֹנִים בַּגְּדֵרוֹת בְּיוֹם קָרָה שֶׁמֶשׁ זָֽרְחָה וְנוֹדַד וְלֹא־נוֹדַע מְקוֹמוֹ אַיָּֽם׃
Thy crowned ones are like the locusts, and thy captains like swarms of grasshoppers, which camp in the hedges in the cold day, but when the sun arises they flee away, and their place is not known where they are.
Thy crowned ones are like the locusts, and thy captains like swarms of grasshoppers, which camp in the hedges in the cold day, but when the sun arises they flee away, and their place is not known where they are.
Rashi
מִנְּזָרַיִךְ. שָׂרַיִךְ, וְהַמֵּ״ם יְסוֹד וְשֹׁרֶשׁ בַּתֵּיבָה, כְּמֵ״ם שֶׁל מִשְׁמַרְתְּךָ וְשֶׁל מִשְׁמַעְתֶּךָ וְשֶׁל מִנְעָלֶיךָ, וּפְעָמִים שֶׁהִיא נוֹפֶלֶת מִמֶּנָּה, כְּמוֹ ״נְזִיר אֶחָיו״ (בראשית מט:כו), וְכֵן ״נְזִירֶיהָ שָׂרֶיהָ״ (איכה ד:ז).
Your princes Heb. מִנְּזָרַיִךְ, your princes. The “mem” is a radical and a root of the word, like the “mem” of מִשְׁמַרְתְּךָ, your watch (Num. 18:3); of מִשְׁמַעְתֶּךָ, your service (I Sam. 22:14); and of מִנְעָלֶךָ, your lock (Deut. 33:25). But sometimes the “mem” is defective; e.g., נְזִיר אֶחָיו, the prince of his brothers (Gen. 49:26); and, similarly, לִנְזָרִים, princes (Amos 2:11).
וְטַפְסְרַיִךְ. הַמְּמוּנִּים שֶׁלָּךְ.
and your marshal Heb. וְטַפְסְרַיִךְ. Your appointees.
כְּגוֹב גּוֹבָי. כְּחַיָּלֵי גּוֹבַאי גּוֹבָי, קומלנגשטדי״ץ בְּלַעַ״ז.
like armies of locust Heb. כְּגוֹב גּוֹבָי, like armies of locusts. גּוֹבָי is comme langouste in French, like locusts.
הַחוֹנִים בַּגְּדֵרוֹת בְּיוֹם קָרָה. כֵּן דֶּרֶךְ הָאַרְבֶּה וְהַזְּבוּב הֶחָסִיל וְהַיֶּלֶק בְּעֵת הַקֹּר נִדְבָּקִים בַּכְּתָלִים, וּכְשֶׁיָּבֹא חֹם הֵן נוֹדְדִים מִשָּׁם וְהוֹלְכִים לָהֶם, כָּךְ יִגְלוּ כָּל עַמֵּךְ.
which alight on the walls on a cold day—So is the habit of the numerous locust, the fly, the finishing locust, and the nibbling locust; during the cold times they adhere to the walls, and when warmth comes they fly away from there and go away. So will all your people be exiled.
וְנוֹדַד. וּמִטַּלְטֵל.
and it flies away Heb. וְנוֹדַד, and it moves.
וְלֹא נוֹדַע מְקוֹמוֹ אַיָּם. אֵיפֹה הֵם וְאָנָה הָלְכוּ.
and its place is not known where they are—Where they are and where they went.
נָמוּ רֹעֶיךָ מֶלֶךְ אַשּׁוּר יִשְׁכְּנוּ אַדִּירֶיךָ נָפֹשׁוּ עַמְּךָ עַל־הֶהָרִים וְאֵין מְקַבֵּֽץ׃
Thy shepherds slumber, O king of Ashshur: thy nobles are at rest: thy people are scattered upon the mountains, and no man gathers them in.
Thy shepherds slumber, O king of Ashshur: thy nobles are at rest: thy people are scattered upon the mountains, and no man gathers them in.
Rashi
נָמוּ רֹעֶיךָ. לְשׁוֹן ׳תְּנוּמָה׳.
Your leaders slumber Heb. נָמוּ, an expression of slumber
יִשְׁכְּנוּ. אֵין יְכוֹלִים לָקוּם.
are at rest—They cannot stand up.
נָפֹשׁוּ. כְּמוֹ ׳נָפֹצוּ׳, וְכָל הָאוֹתִיּוֹת הַיּוֹצֵאת מִמּוֹצָא אֶחָד מִתְחַלְּפוֹת זוֹ בָּזוֹ, זַיִ״ן שִׁי״ן סָמֶ״ךְ צָדִ״י, כֻּלָּן יוֹצְאִין מִסּוֹף הַלָּשׁוֹן וְשׁוּלֵי הַשִּׁנַּיִם.
are scattered Heb. נָפָשׁוּ, like נָפֹצוּ, as all letters emanating from one source are interchangeable. “Zayin,” “shin,” “sammech,” and “tzaddi” all emanate from the tip of the tongue and the bottom of the teeth.
אֵין־כֵּהָה לְשִׁבְרֶךָ נַחְלָה מַכָּתֶךָ כֹּל ׀ שֹׁמְעֵי שִׁמְעֲךָ תָּקְעוּ כַף עָלֶיךָ כִּי עַל־מִי לֹא־עָבְרָה רָעָתְךָ תָּמִֽיד׃
There is no healing for thy breach; thy wound is grievous: all that hear the report of thee clap the hands over thee: for upon whom has not thy wickedness passed continually?
There is no healing for thy breach; thy wound is grievous: all that hear the report of thee clap the hands over thee: for upon whom has not thy wickedness passed continually?
Rashi
אֵין כֵּהָה לְשִׁבְרֶךָ. אֵין מֵצֵר עַל שִׁבְרֶךָ, כִּי הַכֹּל שְׂמֵחִים. כֵּהָה לְשׁוֹן דָּבָר עָמוּם.
No one is pained over your destruction—No one is troubled over your destruction, for everyone rejoices. כֵּהָה is an expression of a darkened thing.
תָּקְעוּ כַף. לִשְׂמֹחַ.
clap hands—to rejoice.
פֶּרֶק. גֶּזֶל שֶׁמְּפָרְקוֹ מִיַּד בְּעָלָיו.
robbery Heb. פֶּרֶק, robbery, that one breaks it away from the hand of its owner.
