On Isaiah 17:14 --
"From this passage all the godly ought to draw wonderful consolation, whatever they see that everything is in disorder, and when dreadful changes are at hand; for what is it but a sudden storm which the Lord will allay? Tyrants rush upon us like storms and whirlwinds, but the Lord will easily dispel their rage. Let us therefore patiently wait for his assistance; for though he permits us to be tossed about, yet through the midst of tempest he will at length conduct us 'to the haven' (Psalm cvii.30)" -- John Calvin, Commentary on Isaiah, vol. 2, 33.
