Yet He also is wise and will bring disaster, and will not call back His words; but will arise against the house of the evildoers and against the help of those who work iniquity, establishing that God's wisdom will manifest itself in bringing judgment and that God's word is irrevocable and will be fulfilled. The contrast between God's wisdom and the foolishness of those who trust in Egyption strength suggests that human might cannot stand against divine wisdom and purpose. The affirmation that God will not call back His words establishes the certainty of judgment: the prophetic word is as binding and irrevocable as God Himself. The rising against evildoers and those working iniquity establishes that judgment is targeted against moral failure.
