(Show All Books | Show All Chapters)
This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
anger ... kindled - (2Ki 22:13, 2Ki 22:17).
hills ... tremble - This probably fixes the date of this chapter, as it refers to the earthquake in the days of Uzziah (Amo 1:1; Zec 14:5). The earth trembled as if conscious of the presence of God (Jer 4:24; Hab 3:6).
torn - rather, were as dung (Psa 83:10).
For all this, etc. - This burden of the prophet’s strains, with dirge-like monotony, is repeated at Isa 9:12, Isa 9:17, Isa 9:21; Isa 10:4. With all the past calamities, still heavier judgments are impending; which he specifies in the rest of the chapter (Lev 26:14, etc.).
