The Lord will remain quiet (verse 4), but then God will cut off their plans like a pruner. This reminds me that there are times when it seems God is doing nothing but then he moves and all the plans of his enemies are undone before they have a chance to blossom. Yes, God does at times let the people go forth and do what they want. Yes, God does judge afterward. However, there are times when God stops something before it can develop. We may not see the times God has stopped something but we can know that he does. Was this why he punished Sodom and Gomorrah? I think so, but we can't know because God stopped it without us knowing the why. I believe that in eternity we may learn all the ways God protected Christians, Israel, and possibly all of mankind without us ever knowing it.
