its width six cubits; he set it up etc. If its thickness was only six [cubits], how could it stand at a height of sixty cubits? Said Rav Bibi: They would set it up and it would fall, until they brought all the gold of Jerusalem and poured a base around its feet, to fulfill what was said (Ezek. 7:19): “and their gold will be for a repugnant thing.”
Tov haLevanon
When the thing to buy with them is not available, they are useless, as written regarding a famine: (Yechezkel 7:19) "they will cast their silver to the street and their gold will be worthless..."
Rashi
And the grasshopper will be a burden. This refers to Nevuchadnetzar’s graven image; “its height was sixty cubits [and] its width six cubits.”37Daniyeil 3:1. Now, if its thickness is only six, it cannot stand, and you say that, “he set it up in the plain of Dura”?38Ibid.. Rav Bibi said, they kept on setting it up and it kept on falling, until they brought all the gold of Yerusholayim and poured it out as a base on its feet, to fulfill what is stated, “and their gold will be repugnant.”39Yechezkeil 7:19.
