(8) The wrath . . . was (i.e., fell) upon Judah.--The phrase of 2Chronicles 24:18. (Comp. 2Chronicles 19:2; 2Chronicles 19:10.)

Delivered them to trouble . . .--Rather, made them a horror, an astonishment, and a hissing. The language is Deuteronomic. (Comp. Deuteronomy 28:25; Deuteronomy 28:37 : "Thou shalt become a horror . . . an astonishment." Jeremiah 25:9; Jeremiah 25:18 : "I will make them an astonishment and a hissing," et al.) . . .

Verse 8. - Wherefore the wrath. As illustrated by the defeats and humiliations suffered at the hands of Pekah and Hazael, the Philistines and Edomites, and the Assyrians under Tiglath-Pileser. To trouble, to astonishment, and to hissing. Three words, carrying each a volume of meaning, and charged with the most powerful and painful of reminiscence (Deuteronomy 28:25, 28, 32 [observe our ver. 9], 37, 46, 65, 66). The Hebrew word for "hissing" (שְׁרֵקָה) occurs, besides, five times in Jeremiah (Jeremiah 19:8; 25:9, 18; 29:18; 51:37), and once in the contemporary Prophet Micah (Micah 6:16; comp. Jeremiah 26:18).
