“And I myself will fight against you with an outstretched hand and with a strong arm, even in anger, and in fury, and in great wrath.”
God's wrath, fury, and great displeasure directed against the inhabitants emphasizes the emotional dimension of judgment—this is not merely impersonal disaster but divine anger at betrayal. The scale of the judgment—striking people and animals alike—emphasizes that judgment affects all life. The great pestilence suggests disease accompanying or following siege warfare, adding to the comprehensiveness of calamity.
