The comparison of Judah's leaders to those who remove the ancient landmark, with the promise that God will pour out wrath upon them like water, articulates that territorial violation and disregard for established boundaries constitute covenant violation that will bring divine judgment. The ancient landmark represents the stability and fixed order established by God, suggesting that Judah's leaders have transgressed the boundaries of covenant faithfulness by moving boundaries that God has established. The pouring out of wrath like water suggests both the overwhelming nature of the judgment and the inevitability of divine punishment, as water poured out cannot be gathered back up.
