General Information:
Yahweh is talking about Judah and Israel.
The leaders of Judah are like those who move a boundary stone

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/translate/figs-metaphor)
