יַדְבֵּ֣ר עַמִּ֣ים תַּחְתֵּ֑ינוּ וּ֝לְאֻמִּ֗ים תַּ֣חַת רַגְלֵֽינוּ׃
여호와께서 만민을 우리에게, 열방을 우리 발아래 복종케 하시며
Makkot
Does this mean to say that all occurrences of the word "דבר" (speak) connotate a harsh tone? Yes, as the Torah writes (Genesis 42, 30) "The matter if the land spoke (דבר) to us harshly". But we learned [otherwise] in a baraisa, (Malachi 3,16) "They spoke (דבר)" there is no use of "They spoke (דבר)" except to connote a gentle tone. And so too it is said (Psalms 47, 4) "He will subdue people under us". דבר connotes one thing. ידבר connotes another thing.
