“The Lord consumes
The mountains.
He burns up
The wilderness.
He withers
The tender grass
Like fire.
A mist quickly
Heals all things.
The falling dew
Gives refreshment
From the heat.”
On the opposite end, the Lord sends heat that burns up the mountains, the wilderness, and the tender grass, almost like a fire. However, the Lord sends a mist or falling dew that gives refreshment from this heat. This middle eastern area was well accustomed to extreme heat. Clearly this is a theocratic sense of the weather and the environment, as God controlled everything.
