וּכְב֤וֹד יַעְרוֹ֙ וְכַרְמִלּ֔וֹ מִנֶּ֥פֶשׁ וְעַד־בָּשָׂ֖ר יְכַלֶּ֑ה וְהָיָ֖ה כִּמְסֹ֥ס נֹסֵֽס׃
At ang kaluwalhatian ng kanyang gubat at ng kanyang mabungang bukid ay lilipulin, mula sa kaluluwa hanggang sa laman; at ito'y magiging gaya ng pinong pulbos ng kahoy na ginigiling ng uod.
Rashi
And the glory of his forest and his stately forest They are his numerous armies.
Ibn Ezra
And the glory of his forest and of his fruitful field. A figure, signifying that his armies would be as numerous as the trees of the forest, and as the ears of a fruitful field.
Rashi
as a tree eaten to powder by the worms Since he compared them to forest trees, he compared their retribution to the worm that saws with his mouth and grinds the tree. He called him סָס, as (infra 51:8): “Like wool, the worm (סָס) shall devour them.”
Rashi
as a tree eaten to powder by the worms As the grinder grinds.
Rashi
as a tree eaten to powder by the worms Heb. כִּמְסֹס נֹסֵס, [lit.] as that which is sawed by the sawyer, which is pulverized very finely, which the worm grinds. So fine were the ashes of their burnt bodies. מְסֹס is that which is ground and falls off because of the worm. נֹסֵס is the worm.
