The prophecy shifts to warn of God's fierce judgment against the wicked. A whirlwind of divine fury issues from the LORD's presence, continuous and unyielding. This storm of judgment will strike the wicked with pain and devastating force.
The image of a whirlwind conveys the irresistible power and totality of God's judgment. Unlike the mercy and restoration promised to Israel, the wicked face a judgment they cannot escape or withstand.
