Commentaire sur Isaïe 63:5
וְאַבִּיט֙ וְאֵ֣ין עֹזֵ֔ר וְאֶשְׁתּוֹמֵ֖ם וְאֵ֣ין סוֹמֵ֑ךְ וַתּ֤וֹשַֽׁע לִי֙ זְרֹעִ֔י וַחֲמָתִ֖י הִ֥יא סְמָכָֽתְנִי׃
Et j’ai regardé: personne pour m’assister! J’observai avec surprise: personne pour me prêter main forte! Alors mon bras fut mon secours, mon indignation fut mon auxiliaire.
