This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
dry wind - the simoom, terrific and destructive, blowing from the southeast across the sandy deserts east of Palestine. Image of the invading Babylonian army (Hos 13:15). Babylon in its turn shall be visited by a similar “destroying wind” (Jer 51:1).
of ... high places - that is, that sweeps over the high places.
daughter - that is, the children of my people.
not to fan - a very different wind from those ordinary winds employed for fanning the grain in the open air.
