Exegesis

Two parallel Hiphil participles, margiz {מַרְגִּיז | margîz} ‘one who causes to tremble’ and marish {מַרְעִישׁ | marʿîš} ‘one who causes to shake’, function as attributive/relative descriptions; their paired objects haaretz {הָאָרֶץ | hāʾāreṣ} ‘the earth’ and mamlakhot {מַמְלָכוֹת | mamlāḵōṯ} ‘kingdoms’ produce balanced parallelism that heightens the contrast between former destabilizing power and present humiliation under observation. The English keeps the forward movement from gaze to evaluation and preserves the quoted interrogative to retain the tone of incredulity.
