Isaiah
27:8
8 In measure [ca'c@'ah], when it
shooteth forth [shalach], thou wilt debate [riyb] with it: he stayeth [hagah]
his rough [qasheh] wind [ruwach] in the day [yowm] of the
east wind [qadiym]. KJV-Interlinear
8 Measure by measure, by exile
you contended with them; he removed them with his fierce breath in the day of
the east wind. ESV
In measure, God weighs and very carefully considers
His punishments, in all aspects, against all who transgress, especially those
who belong to Him.
Shooting forth and debate, are phrases for the contentiousness
of those who transgress.
The rough wind and east wind, designate the adversity or
bad times, or difficulties, that people will encounter, when at odds with God.
But, God stays the course from the perspective of His
righteousness, and the demands of justice, which serves to cleanse or wash away
the filth of transgression.
God is completely fair. God considers all circumstances, factors and
facets of the transgressor. God never
compromises His principles.
