Will not your creditors suddenly arise The phrase "Will not your creditors suddenly arise" speaks to the inevitability of justice and recompense. The Hebrew word for "creditors" here is "נֹשֶׁיךָ" (noshecha), which can also mean "those who bite" or "those who lend." This term suggests a relationship of debt and obligation, where the debtor is at the mercy of the creditor. In the historical context, the Babylonians, who were the oppressors, are metaphorically in debt to those they have wronged. The sudden arising of creditors implies an unexpected reversal of fortunes, a theme common in prophetic literature where divine justice is executed swiftly and without warning. This serves as a reminder of God's sovereignty and the certainty of His justice, encouraging believers to trust in His timing and righteousness. and those who disturb you awaken?
