'Commotion' in the Bible

Why are the nations in an uproar [in turmoil against God],And why do the people devise a vain and hopeless plot?

The sound of a report! Behold, [the invader] comes—A great commotion from the country of the north (Babylonia)—To make the cities of JudahA desolation, a haunt and dwelling place of jackals.
