7:12-16 Evil Returns upon the Evildoers. God's anger toward the persecutors shows itself by turning their own schemes against them.
7:12 If a man does not repent. There is a way out for the persecutors: namely, they can seek the Lord. This phrase warns the wicked and invites them to repentance; it also helps the faithful to prefer and wish that their oppressors would turn to God rather than suffer punishment.
