Wherefore the wrath of the Lord was upon. Judah and Jerusalem,
&c.] As appeared, by suffering the Syrians, and Israelites, and Edomites, and Philistines, to come upon them, and distress them, as the history of the preceding chapter shows:

and he hath delivered them to trouble, to astonishment, and to hissing,
as ye see with your eyes;
