“This shall they have for their pride, because they have reproached and magnified themselves against the people of the Lord of hosts.”
This shall be their lot in return for their pride, because they taunted and boasted against the people of the LORD of hosts—the moral calculus becomes clear: pride, taunting, and boasting against God's people invite proportionate judgment. The 'lot' assigned to these nations reflects their own moral choosing; divine judgment operates as just recompense. This verse exemplifies the principle that opposition to God's people provokes divine reaction.
