“Shall I not visit for these things? saith the Lord: and shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?”
The declaration of retribution: 'Should I not avenge myself on such a nation as this?' This brief verse (sometimes joined with verse 8) poses the fundamental question: can God overlook the people's systematic apostasy? The answer, implied by the structure of the prophecy, is no—judgment must follow violation.
