The Intensity of God's Wrath
Commentators explain that the language of the verse—"poured upon him the fierceness of his anger" and "set him on fire"—is meant to convey the overwhelming and severe nature of God's judgment. John Calvin likens it to a violent flood or a mighty warrior attacking with full force. This wasn't a minor correction but a devastating response to persistent sin.
