“But tidings out of the east and out of the north shall trouble him: therefore he shall go forth with great fury to destroy, and utterly to make away many.”
But reports from the east and the north will alarm him, and he will go forth in great fury to destroy and utterly sweep away many—prophesying that even at the height of conquest, the northern king receives disturbing intelligence about threats from other quarters, prompting violent military response. The phrase "great fury" indicates emotional intensity accompanying military action. The response to alarm suggests underlying insecurity despite apparent dominion.
