King James VersionSource notes
“Woe to the multitude of many people, make a noise like the noise of the seas; and to the rushing of nations, make a rushing like the rushing of mighty waters!”
Context

10Because thou hast forgotten the God of thy salvation, and hast not been mindful of the rock of thy strength, therefore shalt thou plant pleasant plants, and shalt set it with strange slips:
11In the day shalt thou make thy plant to grow, and in the morning shalt thou make thy seed to flourish: the harvest a heap in the day of grief and of desperate sorrow.
12Woe to the multitude of many people, make a noise like the noise of the seas; and to the rushing of nations, make a rushing like the rushing of mighty waters!
13The nations shall rush like the rushing of many waters: but shall rebuke them, and they shall flee far off, and shall be chased as the chaff of the mountains before the wind, and like a rolling thing before the whirlwind.
14And behold at eveningtide trouble; before the morning he not. This the portion of them that spoil us, and the lot of them that rob us.
