People in the world are generally quite self-centered. Even saved people are often lovers of their own selves instead of preferring one another.
Although there are times where God respects some while rejecting others, God’s acceptance of one and rejection of another is never a baseless respect.
When innocent blood is shed, God’s anger is kindled. If the shedder of blood is not rightly judged, God’s wrath could turn on an entire people group.
