KJV
4 He rebuketh the sea, and maketh it dry, and drieth up all the rivers: Bashan languisheth, and Carmel, and the flower of Lebanon languisheth.
5 The mountains quake at him, and the hills melt, and the earth is burned at his presence, yea, the world, and all that dwell therein.
The Jewish Study Bible Notes
1.4: The sea,
often considered a mythological place of chaos (cf. Isa. 27.1). Dries it up,
as during the exodus (Exod. 14.21; Ps. 106.9).
1.5: For similar theophanic imagery, see Mic. 1.5; Isa. 13.13; Jer. 4.24; 2 Sam. 22.8 || Ps 18.8, among many others.
