2 Chronicles 29:8 - Exposition

Wherefore the wrath . As illustrated by the defeats and humiliations suffered at the hands of Pekah and Hazael, the Philistines and Edomites, and the Assyrians under Tiglath-Pileser. To trouble, to astonishment, and to hissing . Three words, carrying each a volume of meaning, and charged with the most powerful and painful of reminiscence ( Deuteronomy 28:25 , Deuteronomy 28:28 , Deuteronomy 28:32 [ observe our Deuteronomy 28:9 ], Deuteronomy 28:37 , Deuteronomy 28:46 , Deuteronomy 28:65 , Deuteronomy 28:66 ). The Hebrew word for "hissing" ( שְׁרֵקָה ) occurs, besides, five times in Jeremiah ( Jeremiah 19:8 ; Jeremiah 25:9 , Jeremiah 25:18 ; Jeremiah 29:18 ; Jeremiah 51:37 ), and once in the contemporary Prophet Micah ( Micah 6:16 ; comp. Jeremiah 26:18 ).
