Commentaire sur Isaïe 59:17
וַיִּלְבַּ֤שׁ צְדָקָה֙ כַּשִּׁרְיָ֔ן וְכ֥וֹבַע יְשׁוּעָ֖ה בְּרֹאשׁ֑וֹ וַיִּלְבַּ֞שׁ בִּגְדֵ֤י נָקָם֙ תִּלְבֹּ֔שֶׁת וַיַּ֥עַט כַּמְעִ֖יל קִנְאָֽה׃
Il s’arma de justice comme d’une cuirasse et posa le casque de la victoire sur sa tête; il endossa comme une draperie de vengeance et s’enveloppa, en guise de manteau, d’un zèle jaloux.

Ibn Ezra on Isaiah
ויעט כמעיל קנאה And was clad with zeal as a cloke, that is, as if he were clad with a cloke.18I. E. seems to point out by this remark, that קנאה is not a genitive governed by מעיל, and that the whole phrase does not mean and was clad as it were with a cloke of zeal (similar to בגדי נקם garments of vengeance), but that both מעיל and קנאה are in the accusative case governed by the verb ויעט.
