“As smoke is driven away, so drive them away: as wax melteth before the fire, so let the wicked perish at the presence of God.”
The reference to enemies fleeing before God and smoke disappearing articulates the annihilation and dissolution of opposition. The image of smoke vanishing suggests the insubstantiality and transience of resistance to God. This verse emphasizes that God's action is absolutely effective in eliminating opposition.
