God will be victorious. First, it can be in direct actions (verse 7), and second, by using their own words/actions against them (verse 8). The second way is the way we typically see God work in the world today, but there is coming a day when God will take direct action. We may think that we wish that day would come quickly, but remember that when God comes, all will be revealed, even our shortcomings. I want the time to try to do what I can for God and let him clean me and help me grow. The promise is that God will bring judgment, and he will do what is right.
When God uses our actions/words against us, it allows us to see the error of our ways and repent. So though it may be judgment, it is also a mercy if we respond correctly. This is the wonder of God: he tries to use even our sin to draw us to him.
