Isaiah 9:19

Through the wrath -By the anger, or indignation. This spreading desolation is the proof of his anger. Is the land darkened -The word used here -עתם‛âtham- occurs nowhere else. According to Gesenius, it is the same asתמםtâmamto be or make complete; and hence means, “in this place, to be consumed, or laid waste.” Kimchi and Aben Ezra render it, ‘The land is darkened.’ Septuagint,ΣυγκέκαυταιSungkekautai. Chaldee,צרוכתchărôkat- ‘Is scorched.’ Jerome renders it,Conturbata est terra- ‘The land is disturbed.’ The effect is doubtless such as ascending and spreading columns of fire and smoke would produce, and perhaps the general word desolate had better be used in translating the word.
