Verse Takeaways

God's Effortless Majesty
Commentators explain that the verse uses powerful imagery to show God's immense and effortless power. An earthquake is described as the result of God simply 'looking' at the earth, and a volcano as Him 'touching' a mountain. This sublime picture, often linked by scholars to God's appearance at Mount Sinai, is meant to inspire awe at the Creator's majesty.
