Continued dissolution: 'I looked at the mountains, and they were quaking; all the hills were swaying.' This verse depicts the earth's geological features trembling and swaying, suggesting that the judgment extends to the physical structures of creation. The earthquake imagery is common in apocalyptic texts to indicate divine judgment so severe that it shakes the very foundations of the world. Theologically, this verse suggests that covenant violation has implications not merely for the social and political order but for creation itself; the earth responds to human sin with convulsion.
