Isaiah 44:14 [1] Lit shaking of the head.
Isaiah 44:22 [2] The ancient rabbis applied this verse to Israel under persecution, especially to those who suffered under the reign of Hadrian following the Bar Cochba revolt (A.D. 132-135). One rabbi said that he was ready to die for God provided that he be killed immediately, because he could not endure the tortures of what was called "the great persecution." The tortures included placing red-hot iron discs under the victim's armpits or sticking needles under the nails until the victim died from the pain (shock).
