God's Unfailing Justice

Commentators explain that God's promise to personally "cut him off" is not redundant. It serves as a declaration that even if a sinner escapes human justice due to a lack of evidence or negligent courts, God Himself will intervene. This reveals that God's justice is ultimate and inescapable, ensuring that such profound evil does not go unpunished.
