To express contempt (Job 27:23 ). The destruction of the temple is thus spoken of (1 Kings 9:8 ). (Zechariah 10:8 ) speaks of the Lord gathering the house of Judah as it were with a hiss: "I will hiss for them." This expression may be "derived from the noise made to attract bees in hiving, or from the sound naturally made to attract a person's attention."
