Yirmeyah omitted Nora, and Daniel omitted "Gibor". Why did Nechemyah say these?
Yuma 69b: [Anshei Keneses ha'Gedolah said,] He is Kovesh His Yetzer (desire), and is patient with Resha'im - this is Gevurah! If not that He is Nora, how could one nation survive among the nations [that want to destroy it]?!
Malbim: He saw that also in Galus, Hashem shows His Gevurah 1 and awesomeness, and His Hashgachah Pratis that surrounds us. This is His Gevurah!
Our texts of Malbim say that Anshei Keneses ha'Gedolah omitted Gibor. Surely this is a printing mistake. (PF)
How is Hashem "Shomer ha'Bris"?
Malbim: "V'Zacharti Es Brisi Yakov..." - Hashem did not abandon us, for He guards the Bris.
What should not be small in front of Hashem?
Ibn Ezra: This refers to the Davar (matter) itself, and not to "ha'Tela'ah". Similarly, "Es Shnei ha'Anashim va'Titzpeno 1 ."
Malbim: Our problems. Galus is only to atone for sin. We already suffered enough for this!
Ibn Ezra comes to explain why it says Yema'et (masculine). Alshich (Yehoshua 2:4) explains va'Titzpeno - she hid the matter.
Why does it say "mi'Ymei Malchei Ashur Ad ha'Yom ha'Zeh"?
Malbim: Galus began from the days of Malchei Ashur.
