22 For a fire is kindled in mine anger, and shall burn unto the lowest hell , and shall consume the earth with her increase, and set on fire the foundations of the mountains.
(i. e.) Great and grievous judgments shall be inflicted, which oft come under the name of fire, &c. See Deut. 4. 24. Ezek. 30. 8. Amos 2. 2, 5.
Or, unto hell or the graves beneath. The sence is, it shall not onely burn up all the corn and fruits and buildings which appear above ground, but it shall reach to the inwards and depths of the earth and burn up the very roots and hopes of future increase.
Marginal references: Jer. 15, 14▪ Lam. 4. 11.; Or, hath consumed.; Or, hath burned.
