The nations shall see and be confounded at all their might: they shall lay their hand upon their mouth, their ears shall be deaf.
When the nations see God's power, they're going to be completely speechless and stunned. All their strength won't matter anymore, they'll cover their mouths in shock and won't be able to hear anything else.
God's power hits different, it leaves everyone else speechless.
