Though God has called judgment on Zion and Jerusalem. It is the love for Zion and Jerusalem that God will save them. For God it isn't always about love in the sense of peace and safety that God operates. God's love is about making his beloved better. Like raising children, if you love them you will discipline them. Often that discipline changes depending on the action. The problem with human punishment is that it is often based on what is best to make us feel better than on what is needed for the person doing wrong. God on the other hand always does what is best for the person involved and the community around them. God's anger, as it were, isn't about making God feel better, it's about doing what is right.
