2 Kings 21:11-13
Manasseh <04519> [Because.]
Amorites <0567> [above all.]
Judah .................. Judah <03063> [made Judah.]
bring <0935> [I am bringing.]
hear <08085> [whosoever.]
destroy <05186> [I will stretch.]
This metaphor is taken from the custom of using a line in measuring land, and in dividing portions of it among several persons. Samaria was taken, pillaged, and ruined, and its inhabitants carried into captivity: Jerusalem shall have the same measure.
<04949> [the plummet.]
wipe ....... wipes <04229> [I will wipe.]
I will empty Jerusalem of all its wealth and inhabitants, as truly as a dish turned up and wiped is emptied of its contents.
wipe ....... wipes ..... both sides <04229 06440> [wiping it, and turning it upside down. Heb. he wipeth and turneth it upon the face thereof.]
