Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate; and he shall destroy the sinners thereof out of it—the characterization of the day of the LORD as cruel and fierce, emphasizing the severity of divine judgment against Babylon's sins. The targeting of sinners for destruction suggests that the judgment is morally justified and carefully directed. This verse establishes that divine judgment, while terrible, is righteous and purposeful.
