“Shall I not visit for these things? saith the Lord: shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?”
The certainty of judgment: 'Should I not punish them for this? declares the LORD. Should I not avenge myself on such a nation as this?' This verse (echoing verse 9) poses the rhetorical question: can God overlook apostasy coupled with social injustice? The answer is clearly no—judgment is not merely justified but demanded.
