This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Be astonished, O ye heavens; angels, say some, but rather the visible heavenly bodies; a pathetical expression in a poetical prosopopoeia, as Deu_4:26 32:1, intimating that it is such a tiring that the very inanimate creatures, could they be sensible of it, would be astonished.
Be horribly afraid; the Hebrew imports as much as,
let your hair be lifted up; such a fright, as we usually say, makes our hair stand on end; such a trembling as some dreadful tempest doth sometimes cause in a man. Be ye very desolate; lose your brightness, lustre, and shining, as the sun, that heavenly body, seemed to do when Christ suffered, Mat_27:45; or melting, the heinousness of such a thing, as it were, dissolving them.
