Commentaire sur Malachie 3:2
וּמִ֤י מְכַלְכֵּל֙ אֶת־י֣וֹם בּוֹא֔וֹ וּמִ֥י הָעֹמֵ֖ד בְּהֵרָֽאוֹת֑וֹ כִּֽי־הוּא֙ כְּאֵ֣שׁ מְצָרֵ֔ף וּכְבֹרִ֖ית מְכַבְּסִֽים׃
Mais qui est de force à supporter le jour de son arrivée, à demeurer ferme quand d fera son apparition? Car il est comme le feu du fondeur, comme la potasse des blanchisseurs.
