This question too is used to contrast the severity of God's punishment. This can be stated in active form.

# In exact measure you have contended

# he drove them away with his fierce breath in the day of the east wind
|

Yahweh's power to send his people away to a foreign country is spoken of as if Yahweh used his breath to blow them to a foreign country. AT: "the power of Yahweh drove them out like a fierce wind from the east" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])
