Commentaire sur Isaïe 55:2
לָ֤מָּה תִשְׁקְלוּ־כֶ֙סֶף֙ בְּֽלוֹא־לֶ֔חֶם וִיגִיעֲכֶ֖ם בְּל֣וֹא לְשָׂבְעָ֑ה שִׁמְע֨וּ שָׁמ֤וֹעַ אֵלַי֙ וְאִכְלוּ־ט֔וֹב וְתִתְעַנַּ֥ג בַּדֶּ֖שֶׁן נַפְשְׁכֶֽם׃
Pourquoi dépensez-vous de l’argent pour un pain qui ne nourrit point, le fruit de vos peines pour un aliment qui ne rassasie pas? Écoutez, écoutez-moi! Alors vous mangerez ce qui est bon, et votre âme se délectera de mets savoureux.
Rashi on Isaiah
Why should you weigh out money Why should you cause yourselves to weigh out money to your enemies without bread?

Ibn Ezra on Isaiah
Wherefore do you spend money, etc. Wherefore will you labour in profane science4By the term חכמות נכריות profane science, as contrasted with the knowledge of the Law, I. E. means hardly anything but speculative philosophy, metaphysics; because all practical sciences, especially the science of nature, is repeatedly recommended by I. E.; comp. his commentary on Exod. 20:1. which is of no use to you.

Ibn Ezra on Isaiah
בדשן In fatness. Comp. דשן (30:23). Let your soul delight itself in fatness, that is, in that happiness which the soul enjoys after its separation from the body by death.5A second explanation is indicated by I. E. in the additional words או טעמו or its meaning is; the explanation itself is missing in the Hebrew text, or it is the same which is mentioned below (ver. 3.), and is likewise introduced by the words או טעם; the two words have therefore been omitted in the translation.
