✦ MADE SIMPLE
The king will be devastated, the prince will be wrapped in despair, and everyone will be shaking with fear. I'm going to give them exactly what they've been dishing out — they'll get the judgment they've earned. And when it's all said and done, they'll finally understand that I am the LORD.
⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE
God's justice isn't random — you reap what you sow, and everyone will know he's in charge.
