God's Sovereignty Over Courage
Commentators like John Calvin emphasize that this verse demonstrates God's absolute sovereignty. The mighty Babylonians, famed for their military strength, become instantly powerless with fear. This wasn't just a natural reaction; it was God actively breaking their spirit. It serves as a reminder that the hearts of all people, from kings to commoners, are in God's hand, and He can give or take away courage in a moment.
