Bible: Isa. 17:12-13; 57:20-21

17:12 The many nations massing together are as good as dead, 1 

those who make a commotion as loud as the roaring of the sea’s waves. 2 

The people making such an uproar are as good as dead, 3 

those who make an uproar as loud as the roaring of powerful waves. 4 

17:13 Though these people make an uproar as loud as the roaring of powerful waves, 5 

when he shouts at 6  them, they will flee to a distant land,

driven before the wind like dead weeds on the hills,

or like dead thistles 7  before a strong gale.

1:20 God said, “Let the water swarm with swarms 1  of living creatures and let birds fly 2  above the earth across the expanse of the sky.” 1:21 God created the great sea creatures 3  and every living and moving thing with which the water swarmed, according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind. God saw that it was good.
