This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Expectation (ekdochē). Usually reception or interpretation from ekdechomai (Heb 11:10), only here in N.T. and in unusual sense like prosdokia, like apekdechomai (Rom 8:19, Rom 8:23, Rom 8:25), this sense apparently “coined by the writer” (Moffatt) from his use of ekdechomai in Heb 10:13. The papyri have it in the sense of interpretation.
A fierceness of fire (puros zēlos). An anger (zeal, jealousy) marked (genitive) by fire. Language kin to that in Isa 26:11; Zep 1:18; Psa 79:5. See also 2Th 1:8-10 for a like picture of destined doom.
Devour (esthiein). “To eat” (figuratively), present active infinitive.
The adversaries (tous hupenantious). Old double compound adjective (hupo, en, antios), in N.T. only here and Col 2:14. Those directly opposite.
