Say unto them which daub [it] with untempered [mortar],.... The false prophets, that flattered the people with peace, prosperity, and safety:that it shall fall; the wall they have built and daubed over; the city of Jerusalem shall be taken and destroyed; the predictions of the prophets shall prove lies; and the vain hopes and expectations of the people fail:there shall be an overflowing shower; that shall wash away the wall with its untempered mortar; meaning the Chaldean army, compared to an overflowing shower of rain, for the multitude of men it, and the force, power, and noise, with which it should come, bearing down all before it; see Isa 8:7;and ye, O great hailstones, shall fall; upon the wall, and break it down: or, "ye, O great hailstones, shall cause [it] to fall" ; or, "I will give great hailstones, [and] it shall fall" .
