我已命令那些我所預備的人，也召來了我的勇士，要他們執行我的怒氣，就是那些因我的威榮而歡騰的人。

Events caused by man’s freewill, such as war, the dominion of one nation over another, the attempt of one person to hurt another, or to insult him, [are ascribed to God, as] e.g., in reference to the dominion of Nebuchadnezzar and his host, “I have commended my holy ones, also I have called my heroes for my anger” (Isa. 13:3); and “I will send him against a hypocrite nation” (ibid. 10:6) in reference to Shimei, son of Gera, “For God said to him, Curse David” (2 Sam. 16:10); in reference to the deliverance of Joseph, the righteous, from prison, “He sent an angel and loosed him” (Ps. 105:20); in reference to the victory of the Persians over the Chaldees, “I will send to Babylon scatterers, and they shall scatter it” (Jer. 51:2); in reference to the providing of food to Eliah, “I have commanded there a woman, a widow, to maintain thee” (1 Kings 17:9); and Joseph, the righteous, says: “Not ye have sent me hither,” etc. (Gen. 45:8).
