“Is not my word like as a fire? saith the Lord; and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces?”
The rhetorical questions about God's word being like fire and like a hammer that breaks rock establishes the power and efficacy of God's word. The word is not merely informational but transformative and destructive (of false words and false prophets). The comparison to fire and hammer suggests penetrating power and irreversible effect. The verse emphasizes that true prophecy has effects that false prophecy cannot match.
