And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters.
His feet looked like polished bronze that had just come out of a blazing furnace, and when he spoke, his voice sounded like a massive waterfall or ocean waves crashing.
This is what power sounds like and looks like, refined, strong, and absolutely unmistakable.
