God's Smoking Anger
Commentators note the vivid imagery used to describe God's response to idolatry. His anger and jealousy "smoke" against the unrepentant sinner, a metaphor for intense, powerful, and holy wrath, reminiscent of God's fiery presence at Mount Sinai. The curse doesn't just strike but will "lie upon" the person, signifying a permanent and settled state of judgment.
