예레미야애가 3:65 해설: Tze'enah Ure'enah & Rashi

“Give them” [3:65]. Give them heartbreak and a curse on them.

“Pursue” [3:67]. You should pursue the enemies with wrath and you should destroy them under God’s heaven.

Break their hearts. A breaking of the heart, as [Scripture] says, “I will break you, O Yisroel,”⁴²Hosheia 11:8. [and as in,] “who broke your adversaries in your hand.”⁴³Bereishis 14:20. Another explanation of מְגִנַּת לֵב is ‘stopping up of the heart,’ trouble and sighing, which are like a shield against their heart. But he who explains it as an expression of grief is wrong, because there is no nun in this word, for the nun in יָגוֹן is not a radical, but it is like the nun of הָמוֹן from the [same] root as הָמוּ גוֹיִם, and like the nun of קָלוֹן from the root of נִקְלֶה, and like the nun of צִיּוֹן from the root of צִיָּה, and similarly the nun of שִׁבְרוֹן from the root of שֶׁבֶר. (and like the nun of שִׁמָּמוֹן and שִׁגָּעוֹן. It appears to me that this is the correct reading, and this is easy to understand.)

[Turn them] into fools. תַּאֲלָתְךָ is] an expression of [foolishness,⁴⁴Alternatively, an expression of suffering, i.e., ‘turn Your suffering, as it were, to them [our enemies].’ Whenever the Bnei Yisroel suffer, God suffers, as it were, with them. Or תאלתך is an expression of a curse [אלה] i.e., ‘bring upon them the curses [written in the Torah].’ as in], “the princes of Tzo’an have become foolish נוֹאֲלוּ.”⁴⁵Yeshayahuu 19:13.
