Terrors overtake him like water; a tempest steals him away in the night, depicting the wicked's end as sudden and violent, a destruction that comes with the force of natural catastrophe. The comparison to water suggests overwhelming force, a torrent that carries away all before it, emphasizing the wicked's inability to resist. The image of the tempest stealing away in the night suggests hidden destruction, that the wicked's end comes without warning or preparation. The violence of the imagery emphasizes that the wicked's ending is not peaceful decline but catastrophic termination.
