Commentary

Robert Jamieson, A. R. Fausset, David Brown’s Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary (1871)

(vv. 6)

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