Isaïe 9:17 Commentaire : Rashi & Ibn Ezra

כִּֽי־בָעֲרָ֤ה כָאֵשׁ֙ רִשְׁעָ֔ה שָׁמִ֥יר וָשַׁ֖יִת תֹּאכֵ֑ל וַתִּצַּת֙ בְּסִֽבְכֵ֣י הַיַּ֔עַר וַיִּֽתְאַבְּכ֖וּ גֵּא֥וּת עָשָֽׁן׃

Car la méchanceté brûle comme le feu, qui dévore ronces et épines, embrase les taillis de la forêt, d’où s’élèvent des tourbillons de fumée.
