Vengeance of God is a powerful theme in the Scriptures, illustrating his justice and his anger at injustice. In this passage, God uses his people, Israel, to manifest his anger against
emom , a symbol of the nations that oppose him. This reminds us that the Divine Justice is always accomplished, as also emphasizes
Ézekiel 25:14 , where God promises to do justice. By meditating on these verses, we understand that the
mercy of God is always present, even at the heart of his anger.
