חַי־אָ֕נִי נְאֻ֖ם אֲדֹנָ֣י יְהוִ֑ה אִם־לֹ֠א בְּיָ֨ד חֲזָקָ֜ה וּבִזְר֧וֹעַ נְטוּיָ֛ה וּבְחֵמָ֥ה שְׁפוּכָ֖ה אֶמְל֥וֹךְ עֲלֵיכֶֽם׃
Par ma vie, dit le Seigneur Dieu, je jure que d’une main puissante et d’un bras étendu et d’un courroux débordant, je me comporterai en roi à votre égard!
Sifra
4) (Vayikra 26:41) "Then I, too, will walk with them in 'laxity.'": They made My laws "incidental" in the world; I, likewise, will make them "incidental" in the world. "and I will bring them into the land of their foes": These are glad tidings for Israel — that they not say: Since we have been exiled among the nations, we can do as they do. I will not allow them (to do this), but I will set up My prophets over them and return them to the good under My wings. Whence is this derived? From (Ezekiel 20:32) "And what you have in mind shall not come to pass, your saying 'We shall be as the nations and as the families of the earth,' but (Ezekiel 20:33) 'As I live, says the L–rd G d, I will reign over you with a strong hand and with an outstretched arm and with spilled-out wrath!'" — Perforce, against your will, I will impose My kingdom upon you.
