And behold at eveningtide trouble; and before the morning he is not. This is the portion of them that spoil us, and the lot of them that rob us—the promise that the enemies will be destroyed during a single night, with the judgment coming swiftly and completely. The contrast between eveningtide and morning emphasizes the speed of the judgment. This verse concludes the oracle with the promise of sudden relief.
