25 For the land is defiled; therefore I visit the punishment of its iniquity upon it, and the land vomits out its inhabitants.
Its amazing to think that creation itself reacts to the sin of its people. Creation groans, longing for the revealing of the sons of God. Trees clap their hands and stones cry out praise. However metaphorical the personification, it is nonetheless true that God causes the land to react to its inhabitants. Sin causes sickness and vomiting to the land. Our surroundings are blessed when we walk in righteousness, and cursed when we rebel against God.
