Rashi, on Mic 6:10

Rashi · 1040–1105
Mic 6:10 · Douay-Rheims
“As yet there is a fire in the house of the wicked, the treasures of iniquity, and a scant measure full of wrath.”
On this verse:
“Does the house of the wicked last long, [or do] the treasures of wickedness?—The “hey” of הַאִשׁ is vowelized with a “pattach” [not a kamatz] because it denotes a question. And this is its meaning: עוֹד is an expression of longevity. הַאִשׁ is like הֲיֵשׁ, is there. In I Chronicles (2:13) we find: “Ishai the father of David,” instead of “Yishai.” Here, too, is אִשׁ instead of יֵשׁ. And so in II Samuel (14:19): “If anyone can (אִשׁ) turn to the right or to the left.” [This is identical to] “If anyone can (יֵשׁ) turn to the right or to the left.” So did Jonathan render it: Is there. Will it enter your mind that the house of the wicked will last long, and the treasures of wickedness? And an ephah of leanness is condemned—A small measure with which your wealthy deceive the poor and bring them to leanness - that is condemned by the wrath of the Holy One, blessed be He.”
