“But God shall shoot at them with an arrow; suddenly shall they be wounded.”
The continuation that the enemies' own tongues will turn against them and those who see will shake their heads articulates the ultimate exposure and humiliation of the wicked. The turning of the tongue against themselves suggests that their words will become their condemnation. The visual image of witnesses shaking their heads in derision establishes the public nature of the exposure and judgment. This verse articulates that cosmic justice is not hidden but is publicly manifest.
