If someone looks across the land,

    only darkness and distress will be seen;

    even the light will be darkened by clouds.  (see all chapter 5)

Isaiah 17:12-13  

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.

But though they thunder like breakers on a beach,

    God will silence them, and they will run away.

They will flee like chaff scattered by the wind,

    like a tumbleweed whirling before a storm.  (see all chapter 17)

Jeremiah 6:23 

"They are armed with bows and spears.

    They are cruel and show no mercy.

They sound like a roaring sea

    as they ride forward on horses.

They are coming in battle formation,

    planning to destroy you, beautiful Jerusalem."  (see all chapter 6)

Jeremiah 31:35-36 

It is the LORD who provides the sun to light the days

    and the moon and stars to light the night,

    and who stirs the sea into roaring waves.

His name is the LORD of Heaven's Armies,

    and this is what he says:

"I am as likely to reject my people Israel

    as I am to abolish the laws of nature!"  (see all chapter 31)

Habakkuk 3:10  

The mountains watched and trembled.

    Onward swept the raging waters.

The mighty deep cried out,

    lifting its hands in submission.  (see all chapter 3)
