A Just and Full Judgment
The command to give Babylon a "double" portion of judgment does not mean God is being unjust. Commentators explain this is a Hebrew expression for a full, severe, and complete punishment. It signifies that the judgment will perfectly match the extreme wickedness of her sins, ensuring a total and fitting requital for her evil deeds, in line with Old Testament principles of justice.
