21 The earth will tremble at the noise of their downfall.
The sound of their outcry will be heard at the Sea of Reeds.
22 Behold, he will mount up and swoop down like an eagle,
and spread out his wings against Bozrah.

for they heard bad news,
They melt away;
in the sea there is trouble that cannot be quiet.
