**The Judaica Press complete Tanach with Rashi, translated by A. J. Rosenberg:**
**like a king destined for the inferno** Heb. לכידור. I have not found anything similar to it, but it may be interpreted by means of the interchangeable letters, “resh” with “dalet,” like (Gen. 10:3), “Ashkenaz and Riphath” in the Torah, and in Chronicles (I, 1:6): “Ashkenaz and Diphath;” and similarly (Gen. 10: 4). “Kittim and Dodanim” Here too, לַכִּידוֹר is equivalent to לַכִּידוֹד, to the king who is destined to burn (ליקוד) in the fire of Gehinnom; i.e., Sennacherib, about whom the prophet prophesied (Isa. 30: 33): “For Tophteh has been set up from yesterday, that too has been prepared for the king,” to burn his legions; (Isa. 10:16), “a burning shall burn.” Similar to this (below 41:11), “sparks of (כידודי) fire go forth”; either brands or flames.

**וְלֹא יִטֶּה.** לֹא יִנְטֶה מְלִיצָתוֹ; כְּמוֹ ״וַיִּטּוּ אַחֲרֵי הַבָּצַע״ (שמואל א ח:ג), שֶׁפֵּירוּשׁוֹ: ׳וַיִּנְטוּ׳ הֵם עַצְמָם; אַף כָּאן לֹא יִנְטֶה מִן הַשָּׁמַיִם לָאָרֶץ. **מִנְלָם.** מַתַּת תַּאֲוָתָם וְזִמּוּן מַחֲשַׁבְתָּם, וְהוּא כִּשְׁתֵּי תֵיבוֹת: מִן לָהֶם:

**The Judaica Press complete Tanach with Rashi, translated by A. J. Rosenberg:**
**neither will...bend** Heb. יטה, [like] ינטה, like (I Sam. 8:3), “and they turned (ויטו) after gain.” They themselves turned (וינטו). It means that they did not bend from heaven to earth. **the gratification of their desire** Heb. מנלם, the granting of their desire and the fulfillment of their plans. It is like two words, מן להם.

**מִן.** הֲכָנָתָם, כְּמוֹ ״וַיְמַן לָהֶם הַמֶּלֶךְ״ (דניאל א:ה). וְדוֹמֶה לוֹ ״הַפְּצִירָה פִים״ בִּשְׁתֵּי תֵיבוֹת (שמואל א יג:כא), וְכֵן ״אֶרְאֶלָּם״ (ישעיה לג:ז) – תַּרְגּוּם יוֹנָתָן: ״אִתְגְּלִי לְהוֹן״. זֶה נִרְאֶה בְּעֵינַי, וּמְנַחֵם מְסַיְּעֵנִי. דָּבָר אַחֵר: **מִנְלָם.** לְשׁוֹן ״כַּנְּלֹתְךָ לִבְגֹּד״ (ישעיה לג:א), וְהַנּוּ״ן שֶׁבּוֹ יְסוֹד נוֹפֵל. לְשׁוֹן תַּכְלִית: **לֹא יִטֶּה לָאָרֶץ.** לִהְיוֹת בְּטֵלָה, גְּזֵרַת חָרוּץ:

**The Judaica Press complete Tanach with Rashi, translated by A. J. Rosenberg:**
מן means their preparation, like (Dan. 1:5), “And the king prepared (וימן) for them.” Similar to it is (I Sam. 13:21), “a file (הפצירה פים),” in two words. [The analogy is obscure.] (Isa. 33:7), “Behold I will appear to them (אראלם),” which Jonathan renders: I will appear to them. So it appears to me, and Menachem supports me. Another explanation: מִנְלָם is an expression of (Isa. 33:1), “when you finish (כנלתך) dealing treacherously,” in which the “nun” is a radical that sometimes is omitted, an expression of completion. It will not bend to the ground to be freed from a decree of destruction.

**אַל יַאֲמֵן.** אוֹתוֹ אֲשֶׁר בְּשָׁוְא נִתְעָה, כִּי שָׁוְא יִהְיֶה תְמוּרָתוֹ וִיגִיעוֹ, כְּמוֹ ״וְעַל הַתְּמוּרָה״ (רות ד:ז):

**The Judaica Press complete Tanach with Rashi, translated by A. J. Rosenberg:**

**The Judaica Press complete Tanach with Rashi, translated by A. J. Rosenberg:**
**Before his time** his recompense will be complete [and will cease] from growing and prospering anymore, like (Gen. 50:3), “were fulfilled for him,” i.e., they were completed.
