וַֽיהוָ֖ה בְּהֵיכַ֣ל קָדְשׁ֑וֹ הַ֥ס מִפָּנָ֖יו כָּל־הָאָֽרֶץ׃ (פ)
Der Herr [thront] in seinem heiligen Palaste — schweig vor ihm, o Erdenball!
Rashi on Habakkuk
But the Lord is in His Holy Temple ready to exact retribution.
Rashi on Habakkuk
Silence the whole earth before Him הַס is an expression of silencing and the silence of destruction.
