Charles Ellicott Commentary 2 Chronicles 36:16

"but they mocked the messengers of God, and despised his words, and scoffed at his prophets, until the wrath of Jehovah arose against his people, till there was no remedy." — 2 Chronicles 36:16 (ASV)

But they mocked. — And they were mocking, mal’îbîm; only here (an Aramaism).

Misused. — Mitta’te’îm, only here. Derided, strictly, stammered. Another form of this verb occurs in Genesis 27:12. (Ezekiel 33:30; Jeremiah 17:15; Jeremiah 20:7–8 for this fact.)

Till there was no remedy. — Healing; i.e., deliverance, σωτηρία (Compare to 2 Chronicles 21:18). God is said to heal, when he averts calamity (2 Chronicles 30:20).

The wrath ... arose. — Went up (‘âlâh’), like smoke (Psalms 18:8; 2 Samuel 11:20).
