Commentaire sur Isaïe 47:14
הִנֵּ֨ה הָי֤וּ כְקַשׁ֙ אֵ֣שׁ שְׂרָפָ֔תַם לֹֽא־יַצִּ֥ילוּ אֶת־נַפְשָׁ֖ם מִיַּ֣ד לֶֽהָבָ֑ה אֵין־גַּחֶ֣לֶת לַחְמָ֔ם א֖וּר לָשֶׁ֥בֶת נֶגְדּֽוֹ׃
Mais les voilà devenus comme du chaume, que l’incendie a consumé, ils ne peuvent se préserver des atteintes de la flamme; ce n’est pas du charbon pour se chauffer, ni un brasier devant lequel on puisse s’asseoir.,

Ibn Ezra on Isaiah
לחמם To warm at. It is infinitive of a verb (חמם) ע״ע, written in full, and similar in form24The Pathah under ל in לַחמם instead of Hirek as in לִשכב is easily explained by the guttural letter by which the ל is followed; but not so regular is the change of Pathah in the second syllable into Kamez; and a remark of I. E. on this point might have been expected, if he had had the reading לחמָם; and not rather לחמַם. to לשכב to lie (Gen. 34:7).—The meaning of the whole sentence is: they will perish and no remnant will be left of them.
