Isaïe 29:16 Commentaire : Rashi & Ibn Ezra

הַ֨פְכְּכֶ֔ם אִם־כְּחֹ֥מֶר הַיֹּצֵ֖ר יֵֽחָשֵׁ֑ב כִּֽי־יֹאמַ֨ר מַעֲשֶׂ֤ה לְעֹשֵׂ֙הוּ֙ לֹ֣א עָשָׂ֔נִי וְיֵ֛צֶר אָמַ֥ר לְיוֹצְר֖וֹ לֹ֥א הֵבִֽין׃

O perversité! Le potier mis sur le même rang que l’argile! L’œuvre disant de l’ouvrier: "Il ne m’a pas fabriquée!" Le vase disant de celui qui l’a créé: "II n’y entend rien!"

Rashi on Isaiah

Shall your perversion be regarded like the potter’s clay (Heb. הָפְכְּכֶם) Your perversions. Do you know this, that it is like the potter’s clay? Just as the clay cannot say of its maker, “He did not make me,” so you cannot say that I do not understand your deeds.

Ibn Ezra on Isaiah

הפככם You are going from the truth.25A. V., Your turning of things upside down.

Rashi on Isaiah

Shall...like the potter’s clay, etc. This is an expression of a question, but there are questions to be answered in the affirmative.
