Habakkuk 3:10

"The mountains saw thee, and were afraid; The tempest of waters passed by; The deep uttered its voice, And lifted up its hands on high."

"The deep uttered its voice ..." This most likely refers, as Garland thought, to "the Red Sea,"[27] that being fully consistent with what has preceded in the passage: but it is not impossible that "the fountains of the deep" which were opened upon the occasion of the great deluge could be intended. In either case, it was natural phenomena obeying the voice of the Creator.

"And lifted up its hand on high ..." Either a reference to the turbulent and violent waters of the Red Sea overwhelming Pharaoh, or to the same phenomenon when the flood destroyed the earth. It is really immaterial which was specifically intended.
