Deuteronomy 32:22 meaning and explanation

For a fire has been kindled by My anger, and it burns to the depths of Sheol; it consumes the earth and its produce, and scorches the foundations of the mountains.

Deuteronomy 32:22, Berean Standard Bible

Explanation preview

These words come from the song Moses taught Israel before his death, a covenant lawsuit in which God speaks through Moses to a people who will turn to idols. The fire is the LORD's own anger, kindled by their betrayal, and it reaches down to Sheol, the realm of the dead, while also consuming the land and the mountains' foundations.
