What is "Shetzef Ketzef"?

1.

Rashi citing Menachem: It is fury. Radak - he explains b'Shetzef like b'Chari.

2.

Rashi citing Dunash, Targum Yonasan: It is a little anger, like "b'Rega Katan Azavtich" (7). Radak - this is like verse 7; The matter is repeated in different words to strengthen it.

3.

Malbim: I hid My face from you for a moment amidst anger and repulsion - this was a little anger compared to the Chesed of pardoning the sin.

2)

What is "Chesed Olam"?

1.

Rashi: It (Malbim - pardon of your sin) will last forever.

3)

Why does this verse mention Chesed and mercy? Verse 7 mentioned only mercy!

1.

Malbim (7): Verse 7 discusses an abandoned wife; mercy suffices for her. For a despised wife, mercy is not enough, for he is angry due to her sin. First the anger must depart via Chesed and pardon of the sin.
