By the breath of God they perish; by the blast of his anger they are consumed

The writer explains a single idea using two different statements. This is a form of Hebrew poetry used for emphasis, clarity, teaching, or all three.

the breath of God

This may represent the action of God giving a command.

the blast of his anger

This suggests the heavy breathing that a person sometimes does through his nose when he is very angry.

breath ... blast

"By the puff of God's mouth they die; the rushing wind of his anger devastates them.". The second phrase builds on the first. They make the same point.

perish ... are consumed

"By the puff of God's breath they die, the rushing wind of his anger devastates them."

they are consumed

Here being consumed or eaten represents being killed.
