אַל תַּרְבּוּ תְדַבְּרוּ. כָּל גַּסֵּי הָרוּחַ אֲשֶׁר שָׁעְתָם מַצְלַחַת, וּבִשְׁבִיל פְּנִינָה שֶׁהָיְתָה מִתְגָּאָה עָלֶיהָ הִיא מְדַבֶּרֶת, לְפִי פְּשׁוּטוֹ וּלְפִי דְרָשׁוֹ, כְּתַרְגּוּמוֹ שֶׁתִּרְגֵּם יוֹנָתָן: Do not abound in speaking so very proudly. All those who are haughty when they experience good fortune. About Penina who behaved haughtily toward her, was she speaking, according to the simple explanation. However, according to the drash, we follow Targum Yonoson's rendition [that she is referring to Nevuchadnetzar].
עָתָק. דָּבָר חָזָק. דָּבָר אַחֵר: לְשׁוֹן סָרָה, כְּמוֹ ״וַיַּעְתֵּק מִשָּׁם הָהָרָה״ (בראשית יב:ח), יֵצֵא דְּבַר סָרָה מִפִּיכֶם: Harshness. Strong speech. Others explain עָתָק as an expression of something which is removed [from the truth], as in "from there he moved [וַיַעְתֵּק] to the mountain."3Bereishis 12:8. [The meaning here being "let not] falsehood come out of your mouth."
כִּי אֵל דֵּעוֹת ה׳. יוֹדֵעַ מַה שֶׁבִּלְבַבְכֶם: For a God of knowledge is Adonoy. He knows what is in your hearts.
וְלוֹ נִתְכְּנוּ עֲלִילוֹת. כָּל מַעֲשֵׂי הָאָדָם נִמְנִין לְפָנָיו: And by Him all actions are counted. All people's deeds are counted before Him.
נִתְכְּנוּ. לְשׁוֹן מִנְיָן, כְּמוֹ ״וְתֹכֶן לְבֵנִים תִּתֵּנוּ״ (שמות ה:יח): Counted. An expression of number, as in, "and the number [וְתֹכֶן] of bricks shall you give."4Shemos 5:18.
