“The nations shall rush like the rushing of many waters: but God shall rebuke them, 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.”
The nations shall rush like the rushing of many waters; but God shall rebuke them, 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—the promise that despite the mighty rushing of nations, God will rebuke them and scatter them like chaff. The comparison to chaff emphasizes the weightlessness and insignificance of even mighty nations before God. This verse establishes that all human might is powerless against God.
