Jesse's comment on 2014-01-21 09:21:58:

This passage struck me as violent and retributive at first, but maybe I read it incorrectly. God says "I will utter My judgments against them touching all their wickedness." He doesn't seem to punish "wicked men", rather his judgments are targeted at "their wickedness". I think God freed these men rather than punishing them; He cast out their demons that hid the Lord from them encouraged them to sin. I think this is actually a story of redemption.
