וַיָּ֤שֶׂם פִּי֙ כְּחֶ֣רֶב חַדָּ֔ה בְּצֵ֥ל יָד֖וֹ הֶחְבִּיאָ֑נִי וַיְשִׂימֵ֙נִי֙ לְחֵ֣ץ בָּר֔וּר בְּאַשְׁפָּת֖וֹ הִסְתִּירָֽנִי׃
Il a rendu ma bouche semblable à un glaive tranchant et m’a abrité à l’ombre de sa main; il a fait de moi une flèche reluisante et m’a serré dans son carquois.
Rashi on Isaiah
And He made my mouth like a sharp sword to castigate the wicked and to prophesy retribution upon them.
Ibn Ezra on Isaiah
And He hath made my mouth like a sharp sword, to speak elegantly; or, as was the case in his prophecies against Babylon, to speak sharply; and the meaning of the whole phrase is accordingly : Although God has made my mouth like a sharp sword against the Babylonians, neither the Babylonians nor the wicked men in Israel, could do any harm to me,
Rashi on Isaiah
He concealed me in the shadow of His hand that they be unable to harm me.
