And in the greatness of thine excellency thou hast overthrown them that rose up against thee: thou sentest forth thy wrath, which consumed them as stubble.
And in the greatness of thine excellency, х gª'ownªkaa (H1347)] - height or majesty (cf. Job 37:4; Job 40:10). х tahªroc (H2040) qaameykaa (H6965), thou hast pulled or brought down those that rose against thee -
i.e., in the persons of thy people]. The Hebrew verb is commonly used to denote pulling or tearing down buildings, and hence, destroying a people.
Thou sentest forth thy wrath, х chªronªkaa (H2740)] - a burning, metaphor glowing anger, fierce wrath (cf. Nehemiah 13:18; Psalms 2:5), and sometimes with the addition of х 'ap (H639)], the fire of the nostril (Numbers 25:4; Numbers 32:14; 1 Samuel 28:18). The allusion in this passage is probably to the fire darted from the cloudy pillar.
