Ibn Ezra on Isaiah
מעצבך From thy hardship. Judah is addressed. מעצבך from thy hardship refers to the sufferings of the body, מרגזך from thy trouble to those of the heart.1This distinction between עצב and רנז can only refer to the relative meaning of these two words, when following each other; but עצב by itself is used also for the trouble of the heart and soul; comp. Gen. 45:5, 1 Sam. 20:34. A. V, From thy sorrow and from thy fear.
