49:14

וַתֹּאמֶר צִיּוֹן עֲזָבַנִי יְהֹוָה וַאדֹנָי שְׁכֵחָֽנִי׃

But Żiyyon said, The Lord has forsaken me, and my Lord has forgotten me.

Rashi

ותאמר ציון. היא היתה סבורה ששכחתיה:

49:15

הֲתִשְׁכַּח אִשָּׁה עוּלָהּ מֵרַחֵם בֶּן־בִּטְנָהּ גַּם־אֵלֶּה תִשְׁכַּחְנָה וְאָנֹכִי לֹא אֶשְׁכָּחֵֽךְ׃

Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? even these may forget, yet I will not forget thee.

Rashi

התשכח אשה עולה. עולל שלה:

מרחם בן בטנה. מלרחם על בן בטנה:

גם אלה תשכחנה. אפילו אם אלה תשכחנה אנכי לא אשכחך:

49:16

הֵן עַל־כַּפַּיִם חַקֹּתִיךְ חוֹמֹתַיִךְ נֶגְדִּי תָּמִֽיד׃

Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands; thy walls are continually before me.

Rashi

על כפים. על כפי רואה אני כאילו את חקוקה על כפי לראותך ולזכרך תמיד, ד"א על כפים מעל ענני כבוד כמו (איוב לב) על כפים כסה אור:

49:17

מִהֲרוּ בָּנָיִךְ מְהָֽרְסַיִךְ וּמַחֲרִיבַיִךְ מִמֵּךְ יֵצֵֽאוּ׃

Thy children make haste; thy destroyers and they that made thee waste go away from thee.

Thy children make haste; thy destroyers and they that made thee waste go away from thee.

Rashi

מהרו בניך. לשוב:

49:18

שְׂאִֽי־סָבִיב עֵינַיִךְ וּרְאִי כֻּלָּם נִקְבְּצוּ בָֽאוּ־לָךְ חַי־אָנִי נְאֻם־יְהֹוָה כִּי כֻלָּם כָּעֲדִי תִלְבָּשִׁי וּֽתְקַשְּׁרִים כַּכַּלָּֽה׃

Lift up thy eyes round about, and behold: all these gather themselves together, and come to thee. As I live, says the Lord, thou shalt surely clothe thee with them all, as with an ornament, and bind them on, like a bride.

49:19

כִּי חׇרְבֹתַיִךְ וְשֹׁמְמֹתַיִךְ וְאֶרֶץ הֲרִסֻתֵךְ כִּי עַתָּה תֵּצְרִי מִיּוֹשֵׁב וְרָחֲקוּ מְבַלְּעָֽיִךְ׃

For thy waste and thy desolate places, and thy devastated land, shall now be too narrow for the inhabitants, and they that swallowed thee up shall be far away.

Rashi

תצרי מיושב. תהי צרה מרוב יושבים שיבאו לתוכך יהי להם המקום צר מלבנות להם בתים:

49:20

עוֹד יֹאמְרוּ בְאׇזְנַיִךְ בְּנֵי שִׁכֻּלָיִךְ צַר־לִי הַמָּקוֹם גְּשָׁה־לִּי וְאֵשֵֽׁבָה׃

The children that were taken away from thee shall say again in thy ears, The place is too narrow for me: make room for me that I may dwell.

Rashi

בני שכוליך. בנים שהיית שכולה מהם:

גשה לי. התקרב לצד אחר בשבילי ואשבה:

49:21

וְאָמַרְתְּ בִּלְבָבֵךְ מִי יָֽלַד־לִי אֶת־אֵלֶּה וַאֲנִי שְׁכוּלָה וְגַלְמוּדָה גֹּלָה ׀ וְסוּרָה וְאֵלֶּה מִי גִדֵּל הֵן אֲנִי נִשְׁאַרְתִּי לְבַדִּי אֵלֶּה אֵיפֹה הֵֽם׃ {פ}

Then shalt thou say in thy heart, Who has begotten me these, seeing I have lost my children, a solitary, an exile, and a wanderer to and fro? and who has brought up these? Behold, I was left alone; these, where have they been?
