Isaiah 17:12-14
12 Woe to the multitude of many people (Israel’s neighbors), which make a noise (Tumult) like the noise of the seas; and to the rushing of nations (Hebrew word Leum, which can mean of an Arabian tribe), that make a rushing like the rushing of mighty waters!13 The nations (Leum – of an Arabian tribe) shall rush (Come together quickly) like the rushing of many waters (Hebrew word Shaah – can mean crash): but God shall rebuke them (God will take care of the Arab armies), and they shall flee far off, and shall be chased as the chaff of the mountains before the wind, and like a rolling thing before the whirlwind (Appears to be nuclear).14 And behold at evening tide trouble; and before the morning he is not (Arab armies will be annihilated before the sun comes up). This is the portion of them that spoil us, and the lot of them that rob us.
