Destruction is decreed, overwhelming in righteousness—the affirmation that God's judgment is measured and proportionate, decreed with justice rather than arbitrary cruelty. The righteous character of the judgment does not diminish its destructive force but rather grounds it in God's moral character. This verse establishes that when God judges, His judgment serves the cause of righteousness even as it operates with terrible power.
