They are dreaded and feared The phrase "dreaded and feared" in Hebrew is "אַיּוֹם וְנוֹרָא" (ayom v'norah). This expression conveys a sense of overwhelming terror and awe. Historically, the Babylonians, to whom this verse refers, were known for their military prowess and ruthless conquests. The fear they inspired was not just due to their physical might but also their reputation for brutality. In a spiritual context, this phrase reminds us of the awe-inspiring power of God, who can use even the most fearsome nations to fulfill His divine purposes. It serves as a reminder of the sovereignty of God over all nations and the ultimate accountability of all powers to Him. their justice and sovereignty proceed from themselves Their dignity, in like manner, proceeds from "themselves," because self-sustained, unsanctioned by the King of kings and Lord of lords.
