What honor should they show to Hashem?
Radak: Do not disgrace Him via not listening to His words. (Rather, listen to His words!)
Malbim: Do not transgress what Nebuchadnetzar made him swear in Hashem's name 1 .
Nebuchadnetzar made Tzidkiyah swear in Hashem's name. Why does it say "Tenu" (plural)? (PF)
What is "b'Terem Yachshich"?
Radak: Before the sun will darken for you, i.e. the day will seem like night due to the many afflictions.
Malbim: Before Hashem darkens through Hashgachah.
What is the meaning of "Yisnagfu"?
Rashi: They will stumble [Radak - like one who walks in the dark. He bangs his foot on a rock, like Yeshayah (30:6) prophesized about them "Masa Bahamos Negev."
What are "Harei Nashef"?
Rashi: They are dark mountains on your way to exile.
Radak: It is where you thought to be elevated (and take refuge) - through Egypt's help, or on the mountains.
What light did they hope for?
Radak, Malbim: [Help] from Egypt.
What is the meaning of "v'Samah l'Tzalmaves"?
Radak: [Hashem] turned your hope for light into great darkness.
What is the meaning of "v'Shis la'Arafel"?
Rashi: It is to turn the light to darkness. Radak - this is a repetition of "v'Samah l'Tzalmaves" in different words. Shis is Makor (like an infinitive); it is written Yashis; both of these are like Yasim (to put).
