Ellicott's Commentary On The Whole Bible

Jeremiah 19:8

Desolate, and an hissing. — See Jeremiah 18:16.

Because of all the plagues thereof. — The word is used in its wider, and yet stricter, sense as including all the blows or smitings (as in Isaiah 14:6) that are thought of as coming from the hand of God.
