Jeremiah4:24

24 I beheld the mountains, and lo, they trembled , and all the hills moved lightly .

He proceeds in his figurative elegancies, q. d. behold how the Mountains of Iudea tremble! A like expression, Psalm 18.7, 8. Isa. 5.25. as if the very senseless creatures were astonished at the greatness of Gods anger, and he mentions these as being the most stable part of the earth, yet shake before him.

As easily as if they were some very light matter, or as dust, or feathers in a whirlwind; see Psalm 114.4, 6. Or these may be said hyperbolically to tremble, and move by reason of the multitudes of trampling and prancing Horses and Chariots furiously passing over them.
