Commentaire sur Les Lamentations 2:16
פָּצ֨וּ עָלַ֤יִךְ פִּיהֶם֙ כָּל־א֣וֹיְבַ֔יִךְ שָֽׁרְקוּ֙ וַיַּֽחַרְקוּ־שֵׁ֔ן אָמְר֖וּ בִּלָּ֑עְנוּ אַ֣ךְ זֶ֥ה הַיּ֛וֹם שֶׁקִּוִּינֻ֖הוּ מָצָ֥אנוּ רָאִֽינוּ׃ (ס)
A ton aspect, ils ont la bouche béante, tous tes ennemis; ils sifflent, grincent des dents et disent: "Nous avons consommé la ruine! Ah! Ce jour que nous espérions, nous l’avons atteint, nous le tenons!"
Rashi on Lamentations
They opened their mouths wide concerning you. Why did Scripture place the pei39Means ‘mouth’. before the ayin40Means ‘eye’. ? Because they [i.e., the prophets] were saying with their mouths what they did not see with their eyes.
