Hissing

Yahweh hisses for the beasts and flies and bees that invade Judah (Isaiah 5:26; 7:18).

Jerusalem is left desolate, and everyone who passes by hisses in contempt (see Jeremiah 19:8).

Someday, Yahweh promises to hiss again and gather His people back to the city of hissing (Zechariah 10:8).
