Ézéchiel 26:17 Commentaire : Rashi

וְנָשְׂא֨וּ עָלַ֤יִךְ קִינָה֙ וְאָ֣מְרוּ לָ֔ךְ אֵ֣יךְ אָבַ֔דְתְּ נוֹשֶׁ֖בֶת מִיַּמִּ֑ים הָעִ֣יר הַהֻלָּ֗לָה אֲשֶׁר֩ הָיְתָ֨ה חֲזָקָ֤ה בַיָּם֙ הִ֣יא וְיֹשְׁבֶ֔יהָ אֲשֶׁר־נָתְנ֥וּ חִתִּיתָ֖ם לְכָל־יוֹשְׁבֶֽיהָ׃

Ils entonneront sur toi une complainte et te diront: "Comme tu as péri, toi si populeuse grâce aux mers, ville illustre, si puissante sur les flots, toi et tes habitants, qui inspiraient la terreur à tous les voisins!

Rashi on Ezekiel

who cast terror around to all the inhabitants.
