In verse two, we see the prediction of civil war. The question is why would God bring about violence. There is of course the fact that if anyone has the right to bring about violence to wee judgment fulfilled it would be God. However, there is also the sense that God doesn't make man's heart evil, but there are times he doesn't stop it from carrying out those evil plans. There is also the truth as put forth by some that God's presence will cause people to become, as it were, more of what they already are. To say it another way, the same son that melts butter hardens clay. Whatever the case, God isn't afraid to take the credit/blame.
