חָשַׁ֨ב יְהוָ֤ה ׀ לְהַשְׁחִית֙ חוֹמַ֣ת בַּת־צִיּ֔וֹן נָ֣טָה קָ֔ו לֹא־הֵשִׁ֥יב יָד֖וֹ מִבַּלֵּ֑עַ וַיַּֽאֲבֶל־חֵ֥ל וְחוֹמָ֖ה יַחְדָּ֥ו אֻמְלָֽלוּ׃ (ס)
L’Éternel avait résolu de détruire le mur de la fille de Sion: il a tendu le cordeau et n’a pas détourné sa main de l’œuvre de ruine; il a mis en deuil murs et remparts: ensemble ils sont dans la désolation.
Tze'enah Ure'enah
“He thought” [2:8]. The Holy One had thought for many years about destroying the walls of the city of Zion, until the measure of her sins reached the length of the cord. He did not turn his hand from destroying. He made the small and great walls mournful and they were destroyed together.
Rashi
Adonoy determined to destroy. It had been many days since this entered His mind, as it is stated, “For it has aroused My anger and My fury— this city—[from the day that they built it until this day], to remove it from My Presence.”28Yirmiyahu 32:31.
Rashi
He set the course. Of judgement, to be punished for our sins.
Rashi
The fence and the wall. A large wall and a small wall, a low wall opposite a high wall.
