God's Appointed Time
Commentators overwhelmingly agree that this verse is spoken by God, who declares He has a specific, chosen time to intervene in human affairs. While injustice may seem to reign for a season, God is not absent or inactive. He is waiting for the perfect moment, which He alone determines, to execute His plan. This encourages believers to trust in God's sovereign timing.
