God's Wrath on Cruelty

Commentators explain that even though God used Israel to discipline Judah, their subsequent cruelty was a grave sin. Matthew Henry notes, 'It is unbecoming for sinners to be cruel.' This reminds believers that being an instrument of God's will never justifies merciless behavior. God's 'fierce wrath' was now upon the victors for their lack of mercy towards their own brethren.
