What is the meaning of "v'Ra'u"?
Rashi: Yerotzetzu (they will shatter). This is like "Tero'em b'Shevet Barzel" (Tehilim 2:9).
Radak: They will break it with the sword ? "v'Ra'u Daliyosav", Yir'uch Kadkod" (Yirmeyah 11:16, 2:16).
Malbim: We did evil to them, and broke them via war and siege.
What is "Eretz Nimrod"?
Rashi: It is Bavel. Radak ? "va'Tehi Reishis Mamlachto Bavel" (Bereishis 10:10). Malbim ? Nimrod was its first king.
Why does it specify Ashur and Bavel?
Radak: They destroyed Eretz Yisrael ? Yisrael will destroy them.
What are "bi'Fsacheha"?
Rashi: The gates of its great cities.
Radak: Its ruins. This is like "v'Hemah Pesichos" (Tehilim 55:22), which are ruins. They will kill them with their weapons.
Who will save?
Radak: Melech ha'Mashi'ach will save us via destroying Ashur and Bavel with his princes and officers.
Why does it add "v'Chi Yidroch bi'Gvuleinu"?
Radak: No enemy will come again from that land to our land or borders. "Ki" is like the prefix 'She' (that); "Ki Niten li'Tzva'acha Lachem" (Shoftim 8:6) is like she'Niten.
Malbim: Before, even if Ashur or Bavel did not come to our land, only to our border, we needed to fight him.
