Exegesis
The closing genitive chain ēchous thalassēs kai salou {ἤχους θαλάσσης καὶ σάλου | ḗchous thalássēs kaí sálou} can be read as the cause or source of that distress, linking the nations’ confusion to the threatening auditory image of the sea and its surge. English therefore needs to unfold the Greek compression into a fuller causal phrase while preserving the verse’s apocalyptic progression.
In context — Luke 21:25
There will be signs in the sun and moon and stars; and on the earth there will be distress among the nations in perplexity at the sound of the sea and its surging .
