Commentaire sur Les Proverbes 22:5: Rachi, Rambam, Ibn Ezra et plus

צִנִּ֣ים פַּ֭חִים בְּדֶ֣רֶךְ עִקֵּ֑שׁ שׁוֹמֵ֥ר נַ֝פְשׁ֗וֹ יִרְחַ֥ק מֵהֶֽם׃

Des lacets et des pièges sont semés sur la route du pervers; qui tient à sa vie s’en éloigne.

Rashi on Proverbs

Troops [and] snares Heb. צנים, as in (Num. 33:55) “troops (לצנינים) in your sides”; (Ezek. 23: 24) “And they will come upon you, a band (הצן),” an expression of bands and brigands.

Rashi on Proverbs

Troops and snares are hidden on the ways of the one who perverts his ways; i.e., torments are prepared for him.

Rashi on Proverbs

he who preserves his soul will distance himself from them He who is upright in his deeds will be saved from them.
