The Jews shall have not merely the Chaldees, but Jehovah Himself in wrath at their provocations, fighting against them. Every word enhances the formidable character of God's opposition, "I myself . . . outstretched hand . . . strong arm (no longer as in Exo 6:6, and in the case of Sennacherib, in your behalf, but) in anger . . . fury . . . great wrath."
