“There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it.”
The poetic description that the earth shook and quaked and the foundations of the mountains trembled because God was angry portrays divine response in cosmic terms. The earthquake imagery suggests that creation itself convulses in response to divine action. The mention of God's anger establishes that God responds with passion and decisive opposition to the speaker's enemies. This verse depicts divine intervention as affecting all creation.
