Lexicon :: Strong's H7588 - shā'ôn

He brought me up out of a horrible pit [of tumult and of destruction], out of the miry clay,

And He set my feet upon a rock, steadying my footsteps and establishing my path.

Who stills the roaring of the seas,

The roaring of their waves,

And the tumult of the peoples,

Do not forget the [clamoring] voices of Your adversaries,

The uproar of those who rise against You, which ascends continually [to Your ears].

Therefore Sheol (the realm of the dead) has increased its appetite and opened its mouth beyond measure;

And [fn]Jerusalem’s splendor, her multitude, her [boisterous] uproar and her [drunken] revelers descend into it.

A sound of tumult on the mountains,

Like that of many people!

A sound of the uproar of the kingdoms,

Of nations gathered together!

The LORD of hosts is mustering an army for battle.

Oh, the uproar of many peoples

Who roar like the roaring of the seas,

And the noise of nations

Who roar like the rumbling of mighty waters!

The mirth of the timbrels (tambourines) ceases,

The noise of those who rejoice ends,

The joy of the harp ceases.

Like heat in a dry land, You will subdue the noise of foreigners [rejoicing over their enemies];

Like heat in the shadow of a cloud, the song of the tyrants is [fn]silenced.

“The sound of an uproar from the city! A voice from the temple!

The voice of the LORD, providing retribution to His enemies.

‘A noise has come to the end of the earth,

For the LORD has a controversy with and an indictment against the nations.

He is entering into judgment with all mankind;

As for the wicked, He has given them to the sword,’ says the LORD.”

“They cried there, ‘Pharaoh king of Egypt is destroyed and is merely a loud noise;

He has let the appointed time [of opportunity] pass by!’

“In the shadow of Heshbon

The fugitives stand powerless [helpless and without strength],

For a fire has gone out from Heshbon,

A flame from the midst of Sihon;

It has destroyed the forehead of Moab

And the crowns of the heads of [the arrogant Moabites] the ones in tumult.

For the LORD is going to destroy Babylon and make her a ruin,

And He will still her great voice [that hums with city life].

And the waves [of her conquerors] roar like great waters,

The noise of their voices is raised up [like the marching of an army].

Therefore an uproar will arise among your people,

And all your fortresses will be destroyed,

As Shalman destroyed Beth-arbel on the day of battle,

When mothers were dashed in pieces with their children.

“So I will send a fire [of war, conquest, and destruction] upon Moab

And it shall devour the strongholds of Kerioth;

And Moab shall die amid tumult and uproar,

With war cries and shouts of alarm and the sound of the trumpet.
