“Shall I not visit them for these things? saith the Lord: shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?”
God's response to deceit: 'Should I not punish them for this? declares the LORD. Should I not avenge myself on such a nation as this?' This verse poses the rhetorical question (echoing similar formulations in chapters 5 and 6): given the people's systematic deception and insincerity, should God not punish them? The answer is clearly affirmative: judgment is demanded.
