以賽亞書 17：12-14
現代中文譯本（2019）
12 列強都騷動起來，像狂濤怒吼，像巨浪衝擊。
13 列強侵犯有如波浪；但是上帝阻止了它們，使它們退卻，像山谷風中的塵土，像旋風中被吹散的麥稭。
14 晚間它們叫人驚恐，第二天早晨卻無影無蹤。這是蹂躪劫奪我們土地的人所遭遇的命運。
ESV
12 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!
13 The nations roar like the roaring of many waters, but he will rebuke them, and they will flee far away, chased like chaff on the mountains before the wind and whirling dust before the storm.
14 At evening time, behold, terror! Before morning, they are no more! This is the portion of those who loot us, and the lot of those who plunder us.
《聖經串珠注釋》
猶大當時的敵人包括亞蘭、以色列、亞述等。他們雖攻擊猶大，如洪水奔騰而至，但神必使他們受驚嚇，落荒而逃。亞述王西拿基立於主前七O一年圍攻耶路撒冷失敗，就是最明顯的例子（參王下18-19）。
