Kommentar zu Jirmejahu 5:26
כִּי־נִמְצְא֥וּ בְעַמִּ֖י רְשָׁעִ֑ים יָשׁוּר֙ כְּשַׁ֣ךְ יְקוּשִׁ֔ים הִצִּ֥יבוּ מַשְׁחִ֖ית אֲנָשִׁ֥ים יִלְכֹּֽדוּ׃
Denn unter meinem Volk sind böse Männer zu finden; Sie hebeln, während Vögel auf der Lauer liegen; Sie stellen eine Falle, sie fangen Männer.
Rashi on Jeremiah
they lie in wait Heb. ישור. Comp. למען שוררי because of those who lie in wait for me (Psalms 27: 11), an expression of “I see him (אשורנו) but not near” (Num. 24:17).

they station Heb. יציבו, like “the garrison (מצב) of the Philistines” (I Sam. 14:4).
