This probably refers, not only to excruciating inflammations on the body, but also to the irritation and agony of a mind utterly abandoned by God, and lost to hope<\/I>.

The word is derived from a verb signifying to burn, or pursue hotly, like a fire that hastens on its way. A heat greater than the fever (Rashi).<\/p>\n Extreme burning.<\/strong>Here only.

See Scheuchzer, as above. The two latter expressions, blasting <\/em>and mildew, <\/em>relate to the destruction of their corn, and the fruits of the earth, consequent upon the corruption of the air. The first word is translated here by the LXX, blasting winds; <\/em>and elsewhere, blighting by fire, <\/em>or lightning. <\/em>What we render mildew, <\/em>Dr. Waterland, following Le Clerc, translates the jaundice, <\/em>because it is derived from a word signifying saffron-coloured. <\/em>But that etymology agrees likewise with mildew, <\/em>which changes the natural verdure of things into a yellowish <\/em>hue. <\/p>\n Deu 28:22 The LORD shall smite thee with a consumption, and with a fever, and with an inflammation, and with an extreme burning, and with the sword, and with blasting, and with mildew; and they shall pursue thee until thou perish.<\/p>\n Ver. 22.
