This phrase refers to a time of judgment and calamity. "In that day" is a prophetic term often used in the Old Testament to denote a future time of divine intervention or judgment. The imagery of roaring like the sea suggests overwhelming power and chaos, reminiscent of the Assyrian and Babylonian invasions that brought destruction to Israel and Judah. The sea is often used in Scripture to symbolize chaos and uncontrollable forces (e.g., <a href="/psalms/46-2.htm">Psalm 46:2-3</a>). This can also be seen as a type of the final judgment, where nations will face God's wrath.If one looks over the land, he will see darkness and distress; Darkness and distress are common symbols of God's judgment and the absence of His favor. In the biblical context, darkness often represents confusion, evil, and divine judgment (e.g., <a href="/exodus/10-21.htm">Exodus 10:21-23</a>, <a href="/amos/5-18.htm">Amos 5:18-20</a>). The distress indicates the suffering and turmoil that accompany such judgment. Historically, this reflects the devastation brought by foreign armies, leading to a loss of hope and security. This imagery is also echoed in the New Testament, where darkness is associated with spiritual blindness and separation from God (e.g., <a href="/john/3-19.htm">John 3:19-21</a>).even the light will be obscured by clouds. Light is typically a symbol of God's presence, truth, and salvation (e.g., <a href="/psalms/27.htm">Psalm 27:1</a>, <a href="/john/8-12.htm">John 8:12</a>). The obscuring of light by clouds signifies a withdrawal of divine favor and guidance, leading to spiritual and moral confusion. This can be seen as a foreshadowing of the spiritual darkness that would envelop the world before the coming of Christ, the true Light (<a href="/john/1-9.htm">John 1:9</a>). The clouds may also symbolize the impending judgment that looms over the people, as seen in other prophetic writings (e.g., <a href="/joel/2-2.htm">Joel 2:2</a>, <a href="/zephaniah/1-15.htm">Zephaniah 1:15</a>).<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/i/isaiah.htm">Isaiah</a> The prophet who authored the book, delivering God's messages to the people of Judah and Jerusalem. 2. <a href="/topical/j/judah_and_jerusalem.htm">Judah and Jerusalem</a> The primary audience of Isaiah's prophecies, representing the Southern Kingdom of Israel. 3. <a href="/topical/t/the_day_of_the_lord.htm">The Day of the Lord</a> A prophetic event often associated with judgment and divine intervention. 4. <a href="/topical/t/the_sea.htm">The Sea</a> Used metaphorically to describe the overwhelming and chaotic nature of the coming judgment. 5. <a href="/topical/d/darkness_and_distress.htm">Darkness and Distress</a> Symbolic of the spiritual and physical consequences of turning away from God.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><a href="/topical/t/the_reality_of_divine_judgment.htm">The Reality of Divine Judgment</a> <a href="/isaiah/5-30.htm">Isaiah 5:30</a> serves as a sobering reminder of God's righteous judgment against sin.

The verb is the same as in the previous verse, and points therefore to the shout and tramp of the armies. It suggests the thought of the roaring of the sea, and this in its turn that of the darkness and thick clouds of a tempest; or possibly, as before, of an earthquake; or possibly, again, of an eclipse. The word for "heavens" is not that commonly used; better, clouds.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/isaiah/5.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verse 30. - Like the roaring of the sea. Not content with one simile, the prophet has recourse to a second. "The noise of the Assyrian army shall be like that of a raging sea;" or, perhaps, "After he has carried off his prey, the Assyrian shall still continue to growl and threaten, like a stormy sea." If one look unto the land, etc. If Israel turn its gaze from Assyria to its own land, it sees nothing but a dark prospect - darkness and distress, all light shrouded amid clouds and deep obscurity. The text and the construction are, both of them, uncertain; but the general meaning can scarcely be other than this. <a href="/commentaries/isaiah/5-30.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div>In that הַה֖וּא (ha·hū) Article | Pronoun - third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1931.htm">Strong's 1931: </a> He, self, the same, this, that, as, are day בַּיּ֥וֹם (bay·yō·wm) Preposition-b, Article | Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3117.htm">Strong's 3117: </a> A day they will roar וְיִנְהֹ֥ם (wə·yin·hōm) Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Conjunctive imperfect - third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5098.htm">Strong's 5098: </a> To growl, groan over it, עָלָ֛יו (‘ā·lāw) Preposition | third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5921.htm">Strong's 5921: </a> Above, over, upon, against like the roaring כְּנַהֲמַת־ (kə·na·hă·maṯ-) Preposition-k | Noun - feminine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5100.htm">Strong's 5100: </a> A growling, groaning of the sea. יָ֑ם (yām) Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3220.htm">Strong's 3220: </a> A sea, the Mediterranean Sea, large river, an artifical basin If one looks וְנִבַּ֤ט (wə·nib·baṭ) Conjunctive waw | Verb - Piel - Conjunctive perfect - third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5027.htm">Strong's 5027: </a> To scan, look intently at, to regard over the land, לָאָ֙רֶץ֙ (lā·’ā·reṣ) Preposition-l, Article | Noun - feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_776.htm">Strong's 776: </a> Earth, land he will see וְהִנֵּה־ (wə·hin·nêh-) Conjunctive waw | Interjection <a href="/hebrew/strongs_2009.htm">Strong's 2009: </a> Lo! behold! darkness חֹ֔שֶׁךְ (ḥō·šeḵ) Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_2822.htm">Strong's 2822: </a> The dark, darkness, misery, destruction, death, ignorance, sorrow, wickedness and distress; צַ֣ר (ṣar) Adjective - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_6862.htm">Strong's 6862: </a> Narrow, a tight place, a pebble, an opponent even the light וָא֔וֹר (wā·’ō·wr) Conjunctive waw | Noun - common singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_216.htm">Strong's 216: </a> Illumination, luminary will be obscured חָשַׁ֖ךְ (ḥā·šaḵ) Verb - Qal - Perfect - third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_2821.htm">Strong's 2821: </a> To be dark, to darken by clouds. בַּעֲרִיפֶֽיהָ׃ (ba·‘ă·rî·p̄e·hā) Preposition-b | Noun - masculine plural construct | third person feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_6183.htm">Strong's 6183: </a> The sky <div class="vheading">Links</div><a href="/niv/isaiah/5-30.htm">Isaiah 5:30 NIV</a> <a href="/nlt/isaiah/5-30.htm">Isaiah 5:30 NLT</a> <a href="/esv/isaiah/5-30.htm">Isaiah 5:30 ESV</a> <a href="/nasb/isaiah/5-30.htm">Isaiah 5:30 NASB</a> <a href="/kjv/isaiah/5-30.htm">Isaiah 5:30 KJV</a> <a href="//bibleapps.com/isaiah/5-30.htm">Isaiah 5:30 BibleApps.com</a> <a href="//bibliaparalela.com/isaiah/5-30.htm">Isaiah 5:30 Biblia Paralela</a> <a href="//holybible.com.cn/isaiah/5-30.htm">Isaiah 5:30 Chinese Bible</a> <a href="//saintebible.com/isaiah/5-30.htm">Isaiah 5:30 French Bible</a> <a href="/catholic/isaiah/5-30.htm">Isaiah 5:30 Catholic Bible</a> <a href="/isaiah/5-30.htm">OT Prophets: Isaiah 5:30 They will roar against them in that (Isa Isi Is)</a></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="left"><a href="/isaiah/5-29.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="Isaiah 5:29"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="Isaiah 5:29" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/isaiah/6-1.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="Isaiah 6:1"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="Isaiah 6:1" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhnew2.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
