ASTONISHMENT
ASTONISHMENT
A kind or degree of wonder introduced by surprise. This emotion always relates to things of the highest importance; to things which appear too vast and extensive for the grasp of intellect, rather than to any thing of an intricate nature. The body marks in a striking manner the singular state of the mind under this emotion. The eyes are firmly fixed, without being directed to any particular object; the character of countenance, which was formed by the habitual influence of some predominant affection, is for a time effaced; and a suspension of every other expression, a certain vacuity, strongly notes this state of mind.

Astonishment
as-tonish-ment: Amazement; mental surprise, excitement, wonder; often the cause of the startled emotion, as in Deu 28:37 : Thou shall become an astonishment. The chosen people, visited with calamities for idolatry would become a source of amazement to all nations (Jer 25:9, Jer 25:11, Jer 25:18); Solomon’s’ lofty and beautiful temple would be an astonishment (2Ch 7:21 the King James Version).
