Sin puts people in an awful predicament. The LORD will not allow sin or the sinner to stand with him. It is a direct refusal to obey the statutes and precepts the LORD has set down for his people. But still his people disobey, and willfully.
Why then would God desire to redeem these reprobate jerks? Doesn't that speak to some kind of overarching love? Here comes forgiveness, a concept that could only be from God. In my world, "justice" rarely includes forgiveness, and God has established himself as eternally just.
So Israel is given instruction to wait on the LORD for hope and redemption.
