SCRIPTURE

"Wherefore the wrath of Jehovah was upon Judah and Jerusalem, and he hath delivered them to be tossed to and fro, to be an astonishment, and a hissing, as ye see with your eyes." — 2 Chronicles 29:8 (ASV)

He has delivered them to ... hissing - See 1 Kings 9:8 note. It was an expression which Hezekiah might naturally use, for it had occurred in a prophecy of Micah 6:16, his contemporary and monitor (Jeremiah 26:18–19), which was probably uttered toward the close of the reign of Ahaz. In Jeremiah the phrase becomes common (marginal references).
