What is the meaning of "Yakot Kislo"?

1.

Rashi: His folly and trust will be cut and detached. Kislo is what he intends to rely on 1 . Yakot is an expression of harvesting, like "Kim'at Kat."

2.

Ibn Ezra citing a Gaon: Yakot is the sun's heat 2 .

3.

Ibn Ezra: Yakot is like "u'Nkotosem 3 " (Yechezkel 20:43).

4.

Devar Eliyahu (15): Chazal gave a Mashal of three lovers 4 - good deeds, children and money. Money is a house, which has Achrayus (it is not prone to be lost), and wealth, which stands him on his feet. Yakot Kislo is one who relies on his good deeds. This is a proper reliance - "Yir'asecha Kislasecha."

1

Ibn Ezra: This is like "Im Samti Zahav Kisli."

2

Ibn Ezra: This is difficult.

3

Meforshim there explain that this it is quarreling, cutting, or sighing. (PF)

4

Perhaps 'Ohavim' is a misprint, and it should say 'Amudim' (supports). (PF)

2)

How is his reliance like a spider's house?

1.

Rashi: It does not last.

2.

Devar Eliyahu (15): One who already consumed the reward of his good deeds, he relies on his children. This is [flimsy,] like a spider's house.

3.

Devar Eliyahu (17): This refers to his wife - "Batach Lah Lev Ba'alah."
