Can you deceive people? / Will you put outvthe eyes of these men?
Why do you boast in their eyes?! Why do you arouse envy in the hearts of these people?! (To peck means to pierce, as if to say that the original meaning of the expression is to blind, as if to deceive).
("Yet you have not brought us into a land flowing with milk and honey, and have given us an inheritance of fields and vineyards, the eyes of the people, they will not be able to see" - in the wilderness of Exodus 16 (Dathan and Abiram of the men of Korah and his council to Moses), and so: "And Hamor arose in his anger and cried, O ye whore, and the treachery, the eyes of the innocent women will be able to see" - Agnon/ (In the blood of her days)
