Commentaire de citation sur Les Lamentations 3:4

בִּלָּ֤ה בְשָׂרִי֙ וְעוֹרִ֔י שִׁבַּ֖ר עַצְמוֹתָֽי׃

Il a consumé ma chair et ma peau, brisé mes os.

Ibn Ezra

The Hebrew word unlace also implies “pull off”, as in “pull out the breast” [Lamentations 4: 3].

From David to Destruction

In Megillat Eichah, we express anger at Hashem in Pesukim such as “He drew His arrow like an enemy” (Eichah 2:4) and “He ambushes me like a bear, like a lion in waiting” (Eichah 3:4). We clarify in the Haftarah of Shabbat Chazon, however, that upon sober reflection, we realize that “Hashem is righteous in all His ways” (Tehillim 145:17).
