NET Notes

¹tn Heb “the peoples are in an uproar like the uproar of mighty waters.”

²tn Or “rebukes.” The verb and related noun are used in theophanies of God’s battle cry which terrifies his enemies. See, for example, Pss 18:15; 76:7; 106:9; Isa 50:2; Nah 1:4, and A. Caquot, TDOT 3:49-53.

³tn Or perhaps “tumbleweed” (NAB, NIV, CEV); KJV “like a rolling thing.”
