בֵּית דָּוִד כֹּה אָמַר יְהֹוָה דִּינוּ לַבֹּקֶר מִשְׁפָּט וְהַצִּילוּ גָזוּל מִיַּד עוֹשֵׁק פֶּן־תֵּצֵא כָאֵשׁ חֲמָתִי וּבָֽעֲרָה וְאֵין מְכַבֶּה מִפְּנֵי רֹעַ (מעלליהם) [מַעַלְלֵיכֶֽם]׃

יושבת העמק. ירושלים היא בתוך עמק, ד"א שהעמיק הקב"ה עצה עליך להחריבך:

צור המישור הר שכל. סביביו מישור:

מי יחת עלינו. מי יחנה עלינו כמו כי שם ארם נחיתים (מלכים ב ו׳:ט׳):

21:14

וּפָקַדְתִּי עֲלֵיכֶם כִּפְרִי מַעַלְלֵיכֶם נְאֻם־יְהֹוָה וְהִצַּתִּי אֵשׁ בְּיַעְרָהּ וְאָכְלָה כׇּל־סְבִיבֶֽיהָ׃
