Commentary for Job 5:4
יִרְחֲק֣וּ בָנָ֣יו מִיֶּ֑שַׁע וְיִֽדַּכְּא֥וּ בַ֝שַּׁ֗עַר וְאֵ֣ין מַצִּֽיל׃
His children are far from safety, And are crushed in the gate, with none to deliver them.
Rashi on Job
May his sons distance themselves from salvation This is the curse with which I cursed him.

Rashi on Job
and may they be crushed It is punctuated with a dagesh: וְיִדַּכְּאוּ, and may they be crushed, but if it was punctuated without a dagesh (וִידַכְּאוּ), it would mean that they should crush others.
