The meaning of Astonishment in the Bible
(From International Standard Bible Encyclopedia)
as-ton'-ish-ment: Amazement; mental surprise, excitement, wonder; often the cause of the startled emotion, as in Deuteronomy 28:37 : "Thou shall become an astonishment." The chosen people, visited with calamities for idolatry would become a source of amazement to all nations (Jeremiah 25:9, Jeremiah 25:11, Jeremiah 25:18); Solomon's' lofty and beautiful temple would be "an astonishment" (II Chronicles 7:21 the King James Version). For original terms and fuller study see ASTONISHED.
