Multiple commentators highlight a powerful wordplay in the original Hebrew that is lost in translation. The phrase 'destruction from the Almighty' uses two similar-sounding words: 'keshod' (as destruction) and 'mîshadday' (from the Almighty). Scholars explain that the name 'Shaddai' (Almighty) is likely related to the verb 'to destroy,' meaning the verse powerfully declares that destruction is coming from the one whose very name implies the power to destroy.
