God's Deliberate Judgment

Commentators like John Calvin explain that God "seeing" Israel's sin doesn't mean He was previously unaware. Rather, it signifies a deliberate and considered judgment. It shows that God's abhorrence and subsequent actions are not a rash, emotional outburst but a just response after a period of patient observation and forbearance.
