How terrible it will be for the nations that attack us! The noise of their armies is like the sound of the ocean. How terrible it will be for the nations who fight against us! They are as loud as huge waves crashing on the shore.

唉！多民哄嚷，好像海浪砰訇；列邦奔腾，好像猛水滔滔；

唉！万民闹哄，好像海浪澎湃，列邦喧闹，如同洪水滔滔，

唉！万民闹哄，好像海浪澎湃，列邦喧闹，如同洪水滔滔，

看啊，列国喧嚣，如怒海汹涌；万民骚动，如洪水滔滔。

唉！许多民族在喧哗，他们喧嚷好像海浪澎湃；列国在咆哮，他们吼叫，好像洪水奔流。

啊！万民的咆哮，他们咆哮好像海洋的咆哮！万族的喧嚷，他们喧嚷好像洪水的喧嚷！

唉！多民鬨嚷，好像海浪匉訇；列邦奔騰，好像猛水滔滔；

看啊，列國喧囂，如怒海洶湧；萬民騷動，如洪水滔滔。

唉！許多民族在喧嘩，他們喧嚷好像海浪澎湃；列國在咆哮，他們吼叫，好像洪水奔流。

啊，許多外族之民的喧嘩！他們喧嘩，正如諸水之喧嘩；啊，外國之民的怒號！他們的怒號，就像眾水之怒號。

啊！萬民的咆哮，他們咆哮好像海洋的咆哮！萬族的喧嚷，他們喧嚷好像洪水的喧嚷！

噫、眾民喧譁、若海濤之漰渤、列邦衝突、若大水之奔騰、

我聞異邦之眾、譁然若海濤漰渤、威聲遠振、惟上帝咤叱之、使彼逃遁、猶之秕糠、為颶風所飄揚、猶之草芥、為狂飆所吹散、

噫、諸國號呼、如海洋震盪、列邦諠譁、如大水澎湃、

Woe to the many nations that rage— they rage like the raging sea! Woe to the peoples who roar— they roar like the roaring of great waters!

Ah, the thunder of many peoples; they thunder like the thundering of the sea! Ah, the roar of nations; they roar like the roaring of mighty waters!

Listen! The armies of many nations roar like the roaring of the sea. Hear the thunder of the mighty forces as they rush forward like thundering waves.

Ah! The roar of many peoples— they roar like the roaring of the seas. The raging of the nations— they rage like the rumble of rushing water.

Oh, the uproar of many peoples Who roar like the roaring of the seas, And the rumbling of nations Who rush on like the rumbling of mighty waters!

Woe to the multitude of many people Who make a noise like the roar of the seas, And to the rushing of nations That make a rushing like the rushing of mighty waters!

Ah, the uproar of many peoples, that roar like the roaring of the seas; and the rushing of nations, that rush like the rushing of mighty waters!

Ah! The roar of many peoples— they roar like the roaring of the seas. The raging of the nations— they rage like the raging of mighty waters.

Woe to the multitude of many people,[ which] make a noise like the noise of the seas; and to the rushing of nations,[ that] make a rushing like the rushing of mighty waters!

The many nations massing together are as good as dead, those who make a commotion as loud as the roaring of the sea’s waves. The people making such an uproar are as good as dead, those who make an uproar as loud as the roaring of powerful waves.

Ah, the uproar of many peoples, who roar like the roaring of the seas; and the rushing of nations, that rush like the rushing of mighty waters!

The ropes of death were almost wrapped around me. A destroying flood swept over me.

“ There will be signs in the sun, moon and stars. The nations of the earth will be in terrible pain. They will be puzzled by the roaring and tossing of the sea.

Its soldiers are armed with bows and spears. They are mean. They do not show any mercy at all. They come riding in on their horses. They sound like the roaring ocean. They are lined up for battle. They are marching out to attack you, city of Zion.”

There I saw the glory of the God of Israel. He was coming from the east. His voice was like the roar of rushing waters. His glory made the land shine brightly.

One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came to me. He said,“ Come. I will show you how the great prostitute will be punished. She is the one who sits by many waters.

Then the angel spoke to me.“ You saw the waters the prostitute sits on,” he said.“ They stand for all the nations of the world, no matter what their race or language is.

Every fighting man’s boot that he wore in battle will be burned up. So will every piece of clothing covered with blood. All of them will be thrown into the fire.

I will use a measuring line to prove that you have not been fair. I will use a plumb line to prove that you have not done what is right. Hail will sweep away the lies you depend on to keep you safe. Water will flood your hiding place.

You formed the mountains by your power. You showed how strong you are.You calmed the oceans and their roaring waves. You calmed the angry words and actions of the nations.

He lifts up a banner to gather the nations that are far away. He whistles for them to come from the farthest places on earth. Here they come. They are moving very quickly.None of them grows tired. None of them falls down. None of them sleeps or even takes a nap. All of them are ready for battle. Every belt is pulled tight. Not a single sandal strap is broken.The enemies’ arrows are sharp. All their bows are ready. The hooves of their horses are as hard as rock. Their chariot wheels turn like a twister.The sound of their army is like the roar of lions. It’s like the roar of young lions. They growl as they capture what they were chasing. They carry it off. No one can take it away from them.At that time the enemy army will roar over Israel. It will sound like the roaring of the ocean. If someone looks at the land of Israel, there is only darkness and trouble. The clouds will make even the sun become dark.

God is our place of safety. He gives us strength. He is always there to help us in times of trouble.The earth may fall apart. The mountains may fall into the middle of the sea. But we will not be afraid.The waters of the sea may roar and foam. The mountains may shake when the waters rise. But we will not be afraid.

Lord, the seas have lifted up their voice. They have lifted up their pounding waves.But Lord, you are more powerful than the roar of the ocean. You are stronger than the waves of the sea. Lord, you are powerful in heaven.

The voice of the Lord is heard over the waters. The God of glory thunders. The Lord thunders over the mighty waters.

So I am about to bring against these people the king of Assyria and his whole army. The Assyrians will be like the mighty Euphrates River when it is flooding. They will run over everything in their path.They will sweep on into Judah like a flood. They will pass through Judah and reach all the way to Jerusalem. Immanuel, they will attack your land like an eagle. Their wings will spread out and cover it.”
