“Wherefore should the heathen say, Where is their God? let him be known among the heathen in our sight by the revenging of the blood of thy servants which is shed.”
The concern is that God's enemies will insult God: "Why should the nations say, 'Where is their God?'" The fear is that the nations witnessing Israel's destruction will conclude that Israel's God is powerless or nonexistent. The question becomes a challenge to God: your reputation is at stake; your people's fate reflects on your character.
