Commentary

fury is poured out like fire--like the liquid fire poured out of volcanoes in all directions (see Jer 7:20). rocks are thrown down--or, "are burnt asunder"; the usual effect of volcanic fire (Jer 51:25, Jer 51:56). As Hannibal burst asunder the Alpine rocks by fire to make a passage for his army [GROTIUS].
