“The sword without, and terror within, shall destroy both the young man and the virgin, the suckling also with the man of gray hairs.”
King James Version (KJV)
32:23 Spend mine arrows - Even empty my quiver, and send upon them all my plagues, which, like arrows shot by a skilful and strong hand, shall speedily reach and certainly hit and mortally wound them.
32:24 With hunger - With famine, which burns and parches the inward parts, and make the face black as a coal, #Lam 4:8|. Burning heat - From fevers or carbuncles, or other inflaming distempers.
32:27 The wrath - Their rage against me, as it is expressed, #Isa 37:28|,29, their furious reproaches against my name, as if I were cruel to my people or unable to deliver them. The fear hereof is ascribed to God after the manner of men. Strangely - Insolenty and arrogantly above what they used to do.
