From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

The earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard -This is descriptive of the agitation that occurs in an earthquake when everything is shaken from its foundation, and when trees and towers are shaken by the mighty concussion. The same figure is used inIsaiah 29:9. See also the description of a tempest at sea, inPsalms 107:27: They reel to and fro, And stagger like a drunken man, And are at their wit’s end. And shall be removed like a cottage -Or rather, shall move or vacillate (התנודדהhitenôdedâh) like a cottage.
