Theological / Devotional

As smoke. The figures in this verse express the utter weakness of the enemies before God’s power (see Ps. 37:20; 97:5; Hosea 13:3; Micah 1:4). The last part of v. 2 and the first part of v. 3 show a degree of similarity to the last verse of Deborah’s song (see Judges 5:31).
