Now shall the isles tremble in the day of thy fall; yea, the isles that are in the sea shall be troubled at thy departure.
Now all the islands are going to shake when you fall, yeah, every island out there in the sea is going to be shaken up when you're gone.
When something powerful falls, the whole world feels it.
