Charles Ellicott Commentary
"Because they have forsaken me, and have burned incense unto other gods, that they might provoke me to anger with all the works of their hands; therefore is my wrath poured out upon this place, and it shall not be quenched." — 2 Chronicles 34:25 (ASV)
Works. —“Work” (Kings), and some manuscripts and the Syriac version here.
Poured out. —“Shall be kindled” (Kings), which agrees better with “shall not be quenched.” (See 2 Chronicles 34:21 for the same alteration. The Septuagint here has (ἐξεκαύθη) “was kindled.”)
Burned incense. — Hiphil, which is much more common in the chronicle than piel, the form in Kings (the forms piel and hiphil of this word qatar are about equally used in Kings).
