הנבלי'. השוטים:

רוחם. כמו רצונם:

13:4

כְּשֻׁעָלִים בׇּחֳרָבוֹת נְבִיאֶיךָ יִשְׂרָאֵל הָיֽוּ׃

O Yisra᾽el, thy prophets are like foxes among ruins.

כשועלים בחרבות. כשיבא אדם על פרץ החורבה בורח השועל על דרך פרץ אחרת ואינו עומד בפרץ להלחם:

13:5

לֹא עֲלִיתֶם בַּפְּרָצוֹת וַתִּגְדְּרוּ גָדֵר עַל־בֵּית יִשְׂרָאֵל לַעֲמֹד בַּמִּלְחָמָה בְּיוֹם יְהֹוָֽה׃

לא עליתם בפרצות. לא עשיתם מעשים טובים שתוכלו לעכב את הרעה מלבא:

13:6

חָזוּ שָׁוְא וְקֶסֶם כָּזָב הָאֹֽמְרִים נְאֻם־יְהֹוָה וַיהֹוָה לֹא שְׁלָחָם וְיִחֲלוּ לְקַיֵּם דָּבָֽר׃

Rashi

חזו. לשון נבואה:

ויחלו לקיים דבר. ואיך סבורים לקיים דבריהם, לשון תוחלת וי"א איקוויירירא"ט בלע"ז, ל' אחר ל' המתנה:

13:7

הֲלוֹא מַֽחֲזֵה־שָׁוְא חֲזִיתֶם וּמִקְסַם כָּזָב אֲמַרְתֶּם וְאֹֽמְרִים נְאֻם־יְהֹוָה וַאֲנִי לֹא דִבַּֽרְתִּי׃ {ס}
