7. spirit of the Lord--rather, "wind of Jehovah"
(Ps 103:16).
The withering east wind of those countries sent by Jehovah
(Jon 4:8).
the people--rather, "this people" [LOWTH],
which may refer to the
Babylonians [ROSENMULLER];
but better, mankind in general, as in
Isa 42:5,
so
Isa 40:6,
"all flesh"; this whole race, that is, man.
