13. “the Lord God said to the serpent, ‘Because you have done this, you are cursed ... and I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your descendants and her descendants; he shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heel.” There has been great hatred since the day when the world was created due to the advice of the serpent. From the time when the serpent was cursed, he was expelled from the king’s gate, and he always lurks between the fences of the world, between those fences in the Torah, and all those who trample these fences, meaning are not careful to keep them, the serpent bites them.
14. Woe to those he finds; woe to those he bites. Woe for the evil hatred that he harbors, for the evil hatred that he had in that woman, who is called a “God fearing woman,” Malchut. He has held evil hatred of her since the day when the world was created, until he broke her by breaking, to lie in the dust.
15. “How lonely lies the city, once so full of people.” Look at the letters in the beginning of each word and you will find harboring of evil hatred that the serpent held for Malchut, until the Temple was ruined. This is so because evil hatred was inscribed in the first letters of the verse, “How lonely,” for the serpent harbored against that valorous woman, Malchut, in the breaking of the Temple, that she will be lying in the dust.
16. “She who was great among the nations has become a widow.” Read the first letters backwards: “To her in your shattering,” since by the shattering of the Temple, the shattering of the assembly of Israel, the serpent attached to her evil hatred, in your breaking.
17. “How” was attached to that evil hatred, which is the serpent’s voice, a bitter voice of crying in the firmaments. Those in the firmaments call “how,” and from the other side, they call “how,” as it is written, “and I will put enmity between you and the woman.” The enmity between this side of the holiness, and the other side, of the shells, was found in the ruin of the Temple.
In the first verse of the book Eicha, everything is written in acronyms. Eicha [how] has the letters of Ei [where] Koh, to know that Koh, Malchut, attached that evil hatred, that the serpent held for her since the day when the world was created.
18. “I will put enmity between you and the woman,” as it is written, “And He drove out the man.” “The” is the assembly of Israel, Malchut. In the ruin of the Temple, when she was driven out by expulsions and sent away by ejections, the king’s throne, Malchut, fell.
