אֵיךְ נִגְדַּע וַיִּשָּׁבֵר פַּטִּישׁ כׇּל־הָאָרֶץ אֵיךְ הָיְתָה לְשַׁמָּה בָּבֶל בַּגּוֹיִֽם׃

How is the hammer of the whole earth cut asunder and broken! how is Bavel become a desolation among the nations!

How is the hammer of the whole earth cut asunder and broken! how is Bavel become a desolation among the nations!

Rashi

פטיש כל הארץ. שהיה מפוצץ ומכתת את הכל:

50:24

יָקֹשְׁתִּי לָךְ וְגַם־נִלְכַּדְתְּ בָּבֶל וְאַתְּ לֹא יָדָעַתְּ נִמְצֵאת וְגַם־נִתְפַּשְׂתְּ כִּי בַיהֹוָה הִתְגָּרִֽית׃

I have laid a snare for thee, and thou art also taken, O Bavel, and thou wast not aware: thou art found, and also caught, because thou hast striven against the Lord.

יקשתי לך. לשון מוקש:

50:25

פָּתַח יְהֹוָה אֶת־אוֹצָרוֹ וַיּוֹצֵא אֶת־כְּלֵי זַעְמוֹ כִּֽי־מְלָאכָה הִיא לַאדֹנָי יֱהֹוִה צְבָאוֹת בְּאֶרֶץ כַּשְׂדִּֽים׃

The Lord has opened his armoury, and hath brought forth the weapons of his indignation: for the Lord God of hosts has a work to do in the land of Kasdim.

50:26

בֹּֽאוּ־לָהּ מִקֵּץ פִּתְחוּ מַאֲבֻסֶיהָ סׇלּוּהָ כְמֽוֹ־עֲרֵמִים וְהַחֲרִימוּהָ אַל־תְּהִי־לָהּ שְׁאֵרִֽית׃

Come against her from the utmost border, open her stables: cast her up like heaps of grain, and destroy her utterly! let nothing of her be left!

Rashi

באו לה מקץ. מסוף העיר התחילו בה שלא תדע ותתפש פתאום:

פתחו מאבוסיה. ת"י אבולהא שעריה ואין לו דמיון, ומנחם חברו לשון אבוס:

סלוה. דושו אותה:

כמו ערמים. גרנות:

50:27

חִרְבוּ כׇּל־פָּרֶיהָ יֵרְדוּ לַטָּבַח הוֹי עֲלֵיהֶם כִּי־בָא יוֹמָם עֵת פְּקֻדָּתָֽם׃ {ס}        

Slay all her bullocks; let them go down to the slaughter: woe to them! for their day is come, the time of their punishment.
