כִּ֤י גֶֽחָלִ֗ים אַ֭תָּה חֹתֶ֣ה עַל־רֹאשׁ֑וֹ וַֽ֝יהוָ֗ה יְשַׁלֶּם־לָֽךְ׃
car ainsi tu attises des charbons sur sa tête, et le Seigneur t’en récompensera.
Rashi
for...coals they are to him, that you are scooping from the fire to heap upon his head.
Rashi
scooping Heb. חותה. Any scooping of coals from a fire is called חותה, as it is stated (Isa. 30:14): “to scoop (לחתות) fire from a hearth.”
Rashi
will reward you Heb. ישלם לך, will cause him to make peace with you, that he should not overpower you.
