Comentario sobre Isaías 40:8
יָבֵ֥שׁ חָצִ֖יר נָ֣בֵֽל צִ֑יץ וּדְבַר־אֱלֹהֵ֖ינוּ יָק֥וּם לְעוֹלָֽם׃ (ס)
Sécase la hierba, cáese la flor: mas la palabra del Dios nuestro permanece para siempre.
Ibn Ezra on Isaiah
The grass withereth, etc. Since he is like grass, he will wither; since he is like the flower, he will fade away; but the word of the Lord shall stand—יעמוד═יקום20קום usually signifies to rise, expressing a momentary action; עמד to stand, expresses a lasting state. It must therefore be considered as exceptional to find the verb קום followed by the adverbial phrase for ever, or as I. E. explains, to find קום used instead of עמד.—and none will frustrate it.
