God's Judgment is Certain
Commentators emphasize that the judgment described is not a mere possibility but a "determined" and "fixed" decree from the sovereign "Lord God of hosts." Both Albert Barnes and John Calvin note that God himself is the author of this "consumption." This serves as a powerful warning against pride and the false security that comes from trusting in anything other than God.
