Isaïe 5:20 Commentaire : Rashi & Ibn Ezra

ה֣וֹי הָאֹמְרִ֥ים לָרַ֛ע ט֖וֹב וְלַטּ֣וֹב רָ֑ע שָׂמִ֨ים חֹ֤שֶׁךְ לְאוֹר֙ וְא֣וֹר לְחֹ֔שֶׁךְ שָׂמִ֥ים מַ֛ר לְמָת֖וֹק וּמָת֥וֹק לְמָֽר׃ (ס)

Malheur à ceux qui appellent le mal bien et le bien mal, qui changent les ténèbres en lumière et la lumière en ténèbres, qui changent l’amer en doux et le doux en amer!

Rashi on Isaiah

Those who say of the evil that it is good They praise idolators [var. idolatry], but they consider it evil to worship the Holy One, blessed be He, Who is good.

Ibn Ezra on Isaiah

Woe unto them that call, etc. They wish that these evils shall come, they are therefore like those that have no reason.

Rashi on Isaiah

who present darkness as light A thing which is destined to bring darkness upon them, they say, will bring light to them.
