Exegesis
The participle meshottetot {מְשֹׁטְטוֹת | məšōṭəṭōṯ} ‘ranging about’ depicts continual, ongoing action, reinforced by the scope phrase bekhol-haaretz {בְּכָל־הָאָרֶץ | bə-ḵol-hā-ʾā-reṣ} ‘throughout all the earth’.
In context — 2 Chronicles 16:9
For the eyes of the LORD range throughout all the earth to show Himself strong with those whose heart is whole toward Him. You have acted foolishly concerning this; for from now on, wars will be with you.
