8. But —rather, "Though" [G. V. SMITH]. of old —rather, "from the days that she hath been"; from the earliest period of her existence. Alluding to Nineveh's antiquity ( :- ). "Though Nineveh has been of old defended by water surrounding her, yet her inhabitants shall flee away." GROTIUS, less probably (compare :- ), interprets, the "waters" of her numerous population ( Isaiah 8:7 ; Jeremiah 51:13 ; Revelation 17:15 ). Stand, stand, shall they cry —that is, the few patriotic citizens shall cry to their fleeing countrymen; "but none looketh back," much less stops in flight, so panic-stricken are they. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-9" class="com-number"
