כְּהָקִ֥יר בור [בַּ֙יִר֙] מֵימֶ֔יהָ כֵּ֖ן הֵקֵ֣רָה רָעָתָ֑הּ חָמָ֣ס וָ֠שֹׁד יִשָּׁ֨מַע בָּ֧הּ עַל־פָּנַ֛י תָּמִ֖יד חֳלִ֥י וּמַכָּֽה׃
Kung paanong ang balon ay patuloy na nagbubukal ng kanyang tubig, gayon din patuloy na nagbubukal ang kanyang kasamaan; karahasan at pandarambong ang naririnig sa kanya; nasa harap Ko palagi ang sakit at sugat.
Rashi
The Midrash connects the word פניו in על פניו with פנים anger — he (Jacob) was also in an angry mood that it should be necessary for him to do all this (Genesis Rabbah 76:8).
Ibn Ezra
The Hebrew word for “well” is a feminine noun and denotes flowing water, as in “as a well keeps its water fresh” [Jeremiah 6:7]. A ditch is a cistern or a hole dug for collecting rainwater. Thus, a well is similar to a fountain . There was no need for the verse also to mention streams. The reasons Scripture speaks of a ditch of gathered water is that a ditch may also not have water. However, some say that the verse omits a connective, and that the verse should read “…a ditch, [or] gathered water…” (as in “Reuven [and] Shim‘on” [Exodus 1:2], “the sun [and] moon” [Habakkuk 3:11]).
