As I looked at the beginning of this chapter I concluded that the problem was the people. The solution however is not the people. In verse 16, we see that God says there is no one to intercede, no one to intervene so God will do it. God will do what is needed. This was true in ancient Israel and it is ultimately true in the person of Jesus, God in the flesh.
Jesus brings salvation and He will one day bring justice to the entire world. Jesus will do it all; Justice and Mercy, forgiveness and retribution. Jesus will bring both because there is no justice without retribution. The question of course is whether the retribution going to be paid by Jesus or ourselves.
