Evil shall slay the wicked,
And those who hate the righteous shall be condemned.
22 The Lord redeems the soul of His servants,
And none of those who trust in Him shall be condemned. Psalm 34:21-22
How does this first line change your view of God’s judgment?
That God uses the evil to slay the wicked? Not sure about this one…
The construction of the sentence is “ra muwth rasha” or ” wickedness will slay the wicked.”
It is not “the wicked shall slay the wicked.”
It is that their own wickedness slays them!
I think God’s judgment is just allowing the cancer of evil to consume those who perform it.
Oh that makes sense to me now–truly I’ve seen examples of how people are consumed by their wickedness…not a pretty sight.
