Here we summarize what has been discussed above: the significance for the faithful of the punishment of the wicked (22) and of God’s divine judgment on them, which requires recognizing the true God (23-27). There is again a reference to false gods and idols (Deut. 7:26; 27:15) and how punishment is linked to the sin committed. Sometimes, our praise of God comes from comparing our personal or community situations with other known circumstances. The same conclusion can be drawn from this text. However, believers must also put into practice the words that complete verse 22: kindness and mercy in judgments. And even more importantly, if possible: a commitment to situations involving pain and punishment.
