Комментарий к Йешайау 56:11
וְהַכְּלָבִ֣ים עַזֵּי־נֶ֗פֶשׁ לֹ֤א יָֽדְעוּ֙ שָׂבְעָ֔ה וְהֵ֣מָּה רֹעִ֔ים לֹ֥א יָדְע֖וּ הָבִ֑ין כֻּלָּם֙ לְדַרְכָּ֣ם פָּנ֔וּ אִ֥ישׁ לְבִצְע֖וֹ מִקָּצֵֽהוּ׃
Да, собаки жадные, они не знают, когда им достаточно; И это пастухи, которые не могут понять; Все они поворачиваются к своему, Каждый к своей выгоде, один и все.
Rashi on Isaiah
And the dogs are of greedy disposition wanting to fill their stomachs [engrote talent in O.F.], sick with hunger.

Ibn Ezra on Isaiah
עזי נפש Greedy. The word נפש is mostly used in Scripture to express the appetitive soul;12Comp. I. E. on 26:9, Note 9, and Eccles. 7:3. Three kinds of נפש, soul, are mentioned there; one of them, which is mostly understood by נפש, is נפש הצומחת or נפש המתאוה, the vegetative or appetitive soul. comp. ונפשו מאכל תאוה and his soul (abhorreth) dainty meat (Job 33:20). All these dogs are useless; they do only harm, because of their strong, insatiable appetite, called עזות נפש greediness;12aLit., Strength of appetite. they can never have enough. The words which follow contain the explanation of the figure used here.

and they are shepherds Just as the dogs know no satiety, neither do the shepherds know to understand what will occur at the end of days.
