Cities or nations that turn back to wickedness will face the weight of Divine judgment.
The Lord is slow to anger but when He does get angry, whatever He does is right.
The Lord is good and you should turn to Him in days of trouble. He knows those who trust in Him. There is comfort for people of faith.
Tyrants, evil doers and the wicked are known to the Lord and they will be judged. The Lord is a God of wrath against sin.
