Tafsiran Yesaya 8:22: Rashi & Ibn Ezra

וְאֶל־אֶ֖רֶץ יַבִּ֑יט וְהִנֵּ֨ה צָרָ֤ה וַחֲשֵׁכָה֙ מְע֣וּף צוּקָ֔ה וַאֲפֵלָ֖ה מְנֻדָּֽח׃

Lalu ia akan memandang ke bumi, tetapi lihatlah, yang ada hanya kesesakan dan kegelapan, kelesuan karena impitan kesesakan, dan ia terhalau ke dalam kekelaman.

Rashi

And he shall look to the land perhaps he will find aid. [This refers to the incident] that Hoshea son of Elah sent messengers to So the king of Egypt (II Kings 17:4).

and to the darkness he is lost And through the darkness he is lost, for the expression of נִדּוּחַ [applies to darkness], as (Jer. 23:12): “Therefore, their way shall be to them like slippery land in the darkness; they shall be lost and fall upon it.” And to the darkness they shall be lost.
