26
Therefore their inhabitants had little power. They were dismayed and confounded. They were like the grass of the field and like the green herb, like the grass on the housetops and like grain blasted before it has grown up.

ExplanationCommentary
Verse 26. Of hand. Hebrew “short, ( Calmet.) or contracted in hand,” or power. This does not add to the glory of Sennacherib; and if the enemy had been less valiant, the victory was still to be attributed to God. Bible.—The Assyrian found but little resistance. Calmet. 18:13.
