God's 'Comfort' is His Justice
Commentators explain that when God says He will be "comforted," it is not about human-like pleasure in revenge. Rather, it is an expression of His divine justice being satisfied. His honor, which was insulted by Israel's sin before the nations, is vindicated through the execution of this just punishment. It signifies the completion of a righteous act, not a cruel emotion.
