Ibn Ezra on Isaiah
משדי From the Almighty. This destruction shall come from the Almighty, and who shall be able to prevent it? According to others: From a destroying hero (שודד ═ שדי), but the former explanation is the right one.8The second explanation is rejected, probably because there is no instance of שדי being used in that sense.
