This passage is a bit ominous. People are living in a land of great promise, but if they fail to serve and obey God, they will be swept off in the "full wrath" of God. While this passage could be read literally, I think most LDS read it metaphorically.
When someone is greatly blessed by God, they should in return serve Him with some of their great blessings. If they get arrogant or forget where their blessings come from, it seems that our Heavenly Father might unleash His "full wrath" on them. I don't see it that way really. Sometimes people who don't serve God become incredibly blessed while others who serve God in much better ways that I do suffer greatly. Simply put, we don't know why-or how-His blessings are distributed.
