This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
hiss - whistle, to bring bees to settle (see on Isa 5:26).
fly - found in numbers about the arms of the Nile and the canals from it (Isa 19:5-7; Isa 23:3), here called “rivers.” Hence arose the plague of flies (Exo 8:21). Figurative, for numerous and troublesome foes from the remotest parts of Egypt, for example, Pharaoh-nechoh.
bee - (Deu 1:44; Psa 118:12). As numerous in Assyria as the fly in marshy Egypt. Sennacherib, Esar-haddon, and Nebuchadnezzar fulfilled this prediction.
