From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

They shall roar against them -The army that shall come up shall roar against the Jews. The image of “the roaring of the sea” indicates the great number that would come; that of the roaring of the “lion” denotes their fierceness and terror. And if one look unto the land -This expression has given some perplexity, because it is supposed not to be full or complete. The whole image, it has been supposed (see “Lowth”), would be that of looking “upward” to the heaven for help, and then to the land, or “earth;” compareIsaiah 8:22, where the same expression is used. But there is no need of supposing the expression defective.
