עַל־הֶ֨הָרִ֜ים אֶשָּׂ֧א בְכִ֣י וָנֶ֗הִי וְעַל־נְא֤וֹת מִדְבָּר֙ קִינָ֔ה כִּ֤י נִצְּתוּ֙ מִבְּלִי־אִ֣ישׁ עֹבֵ֔ר וְלֹ֥א שָׁמְע֖וּ ק֣וֹל מִקְנֶ֑ה מֵע֤וֹף הַשָּׁמַ֙יִם֙ וְעַד־בְּהֵמָ֔ה נָדְד֖וּ הָלָֽכוּ׃
Je veux éclater en sanglots et en plaintes à cause des montagnes et en lamentations à cause des prairies du désert, car elles sont dévastées par le feu, personne ne les traverse plus; elles n’entendent plus le bruit des troupeaux; des oiseaux du ciel aux animaux, tout est en fuite, tout a disparu.
Rashi
for the mountains i.e., for the destruction of the mountains.
Rashi
for the dwellings of the wilderness The dwelling of the shepherds in the wilderness. נאות is an expression of a dwelling. Comp. (Psalms 83: 13) “the dwellings (נאות) of God,” also (ibid. 93:5) “to Your house, the dwelling (נאוה) of sanctity.”
Rashi
they are withered Heb. נצתו. An expression of aridness. Comp. (v. 11) “withered (נצתה) .”
Rashi
have fled and are gone i.e., they are destined to go. For fifty-two years no one passed through Judah; from the exile of Zedekiah until the order of Cyrus, king of Persia, were fifty-two years. An allusion to the matter [is that the numerical value for] “and the beast” (בּהמה) amounts to fifty-two, and the computation is exact, in Tractate Megillah [should read: Yoma 54a].
