Literally, "But it shall hail with coming down of the forest, and in lowness shall the city (Nineveh) be brought low; that is, humbled." The "hail" is Jehovah's wrathful visitation (Isa 30:30; Isa 28:2, Isa 28:17). The "forest" is the Assyrian host, dense as the trees of a forest (Isa 10:18-19, Isa 10:33-34; Zac 11:2).
