v. 6 – Also found as a metaphor for anger (Prov 27:4: "anger is overwhelming"), the noun שֶׁטֶף is found in the context of waters in Job 38:25: "Who has split open a channel for the flood (לַשֶּׁ֣טֶף)?" (NASB) and implied in Nah 1:8: "But with an overflowing flood (בְשֶׁ֣טֶף) he will make a complete end of the adversaries" (ESV).
