Besides this Exposition of the peoples being troubled with perplexity, fear, and doubt, with anxiety, and uncertainty of spirit what to do, I say, besides this, there is another way of being troubled, upon which some Expositors specially insist. The people shall be troubled; that is, shall be in a tumult; they shall rise up seditiously, and (as, we say) make a commotion, they shall gather together as many waters, with a roaring noise. Many people, are compared to many Waters; and there is sometimes a confluence, a great confluence or flood of them tumbling together: The Poet tells us elegantly what rude work a people make when they rise up like a flood of troubled waters.1 Their rage (saith he) finds out weapons, one throws stones, another throws firebrands, till all's in a sad combustion: These waters, if let alone, may quickly put all into a flame. The Psalmist ascribes the quieting of the Sea, and the quieting of the people to God in one verse; yea, I conceive the one is but the explication of the other, (Psal. 65.7.) Which stilleth the noise of the Seas, the noise of their waves, and the tumult of their people. Thus saith Elihu, the people shall be in a tumult, (this suits with that exposition first given) ready to destroy whomsoever they meet next, or those especially who never did nor meant them any other hurt but to keep the peace, or bridle their headstrong fury.
