God's Unwavering Justice
Commentators explain that God “rejoicing” to destroy is a powerful metaphor. It doesn't mean God is cruel, but that He is so committed to His own righteousness that He must act as the “Avenger of His Law” when it is broken. His joy is in the upholding of justice, a characteristic as fundamental to His nature as His delight in showing mercy.
