2 Kings 21:13
<< 2 Kings 21:13 >>
'I will stretch over Jerusalem the line of Samaria and the plummet of the house of Ahab, and I will wipe Jerusalem as one wipes a dish, wiping it and turning it upside down. (NASB ©1995)

Isaiah 34:11 But pelican and hedgehog will possess it, And owl and raven will dwell in it; And He will stretch over it the line of desolation And the plumb line of emptiness.

Amos 7:7 Thus He showed me, and behold, the Lord was standing by a vertical wall with a plumb line in His hand.

Amos 7:8 The LORD said to me, "What do you see, Amos?" And I said, "A plumb line." Then the Lord said, "Behold I am about to put a plumb line In the midst of My people Israel. I will spare them no longer. (NASB ©1995)


And I will stretch over Jerusalem the line of Samaria, and the plummet of the house of Ahab: and I will wipe Jerusalem as a man wipeth a dish, wiping it, and turning it upside down.

I will stretch. This metaphor is taken from the custom of using a line in measuring land, and in dividing portions of it among several persons. Samaria was taken, pillaged, and ruined, and its inhabitants carried into captivity: Jerusalem shall have the same measure.

17:6 Isa 10:22 28:17 34:11 La 2:8 Eze 23:31-34 Am 7:7,8 Zec 1:16

the plummet. 10:11 1Ki 21:21-24

I will wipe. I will empty Jerusalem of all its wealth and inhabitants, as truly as a dish turned up and wiped is emptied of its contents.

1Ki 14:10 Isa 14:23 Jer 25:9 Eze 24:10,11 Re 18:21-23

wiping it, and turning it upside down. Heb. he wipeth and turneth it upon the face thereof.
