Then shalt thou see, and abound, and thy heart shall wonder and be enlarged, when the multitude of the sea shall be converted to thee, the. strength of the Gentiles shall come to thee.
Ibn Ezra
Then. When kings come unto thee and bring thee thy children. תראי Thou shalt fear, like a man that trembles when help comes to him suddenly, or anything he did not anticipate; this is usually the case with a person who finds something. ונהרת And thou wilt run hither and thither. And thine heart shall fear and be enlarged. Anxiety will be mixed with the rejoicing, which is indicated by the words: And thine heart shall be enlarged. This is the opposite of צרה straits, distress. The reason of the joy will be Because the abundance of the sea, etc. The verse may also be explained thus: Thou shalt fear because of the great multitude that will flow unto thee. חיל גוים The forces of the nations. The land armies.
