General Information:
Yahweh is talking about Judah and Israel.
The leaders of Judah are like those who move a boundary stone
To "move a boundary stone" refers to moving the landmark that marked the border of some property, which was a crime under Israelite law. (See: rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-simile)
I will pour my wrath on them like water
Yahweh's wrath against Judah will be like a large stream of water that destroys them. In the scriptures, emotions and moral qualities are often spoken of as if they were liquids. (See: rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor)
