How did she trust in her evil?

1.

Radak: This refers to witchcraft, which is evil and removes trust in Kel. You trusted in them, and they did not help you!

2.

Malbim: Among all your predictors, not one of them contemplated what will come upon you.

2)

Why does it say "Ein Ro'eni"?

1.

Radak: One does witchcraft b'Lat and covertly - "va'Ya'asu Chen ha'Chartumim b'Lateihem" (Shemos 8:3). Even so, I saw!

2.

Malbim: Two things can cause evildoers to abandon their evil. (a) They fear others who see their deeds. You said that no one sees! (b) Refer to 49:10:3:3.

3)

What is the meaning of "Chachmasech v'Datech Hi Shovevasech"?

1.

Rashi: Your Chachmah and the evil of your heart reversed your heart to be Shovevah (unruly). It made you wayward from the way of others.

2.

Radak: External Chachmos in you turned you from turning to Kel. You thought that it will help you. It made you rebel against Kel! Shovevasech is rebellion, like "Shuvu Banim Shovavim" (Yirmeyah 3:14).

3.

Malbim: A second thing that causes an evildoer to abandon his evil is his own fear, when his eyes will be opened, and he will see that his deeds are not good. People who sin due to desire, when they put their ways to heart, they repent and abandon their bad deeds. You were the opposite

4)

It already said "Ani v'Afsi Od" (8). Why is this repeated?

1.

Malbim: It was a reason why they did not abandon their evil
