Commentaire sur Jérémie 4:30
ואתי [וְאַ֨תְּ] שָׁד֜וּד מַֽה־תַּעֲשִׂ֗י כִּֽי־תִלְבְּשִׁ֨י שָׁנִ֜י כִּי־תַעְדִּ֣י עֲדִי־זָהָ֗ב כִּֽי־תִקְרְעִ֤י בַפּוּךְ֙ עֵינַ֔יִךְ לַשָּׁ֖וְא תִּתְיַפִּ֑י מָאֲסוּ־בָ֥ךְ עֹגְבִ֖ים נַפְשֵׁ֥ךְ יְבַקֵּֽשׁוּ׃
Et toi, si complètement ruinée, que vas-tu faire? Tu aurais beau te vêtir de pourpre, te parer de tes bijoux d’or, allonger tes yeux au moyen du fard: vainement tu te ferais belle, les amoureux te dédaignent, c’est à ta vie qu’ils en veulent.
