Isaïe 45:9 Commentaire : Rashi & Ibn Ezra

ה֗וֹי רָ֚ב אֶת־יֹ֣צְר֔וֹ חֶ֖רֶשׂ אֶת־חַרְשֵׂ֣י אֲדָמָ֑ה הֲיֹאמַ֨ר חֹ֤מֶר לְיֹֽצְרוֹ֙ מַֽה־תַּעֲשֶׂ֔ה וּפָעָלְךָ֖ אֵין־יָדַ֥יִם לֽוֹ׃ (ס)

Malheur à celui qui entre en lutte avec son Créateur vase fragile au milieu d’autres vases de terre! L’argile dira t-elle au potier qui la pétrit: "Que fais-tu? Ton œuvre est imparfaite!"

Rashi on Isaiah

Woe to him who contends with his Creator Isaiah prophesied concerning Habakkuk, who was destined to stand and complain about the length of Nebuchadnezzar’s success (1:2): “How long, O Lord, have I entreated [You]?...” (v. 14) “And [why] have You made man like the fish of the sea?” And the Holy One, blessed be He, said to Isaiah, Why does this one come to contend with Me? Does he think that I do not give thought to save My people? When the time lapses, “that the land will appease its sabbaths” (Lev. 26:34).

Ibn Ezra on Isaiah

הוי Hi!10A. V., Woe unto him. Interjectio vocandi. The prophet calls unto him, that does not believe in the words of God, who foretells these future events.

Rashi on Isaiah

has no place [lit. has no hands,] has no place.
