Again and again the sins of Judah are listed and condemned. The Bible sets forth the view that Babylonian conquest is one consequence of Judah's disobedience. How do the people who are exiled in Babylon feel? They long for vengeance: O Daughter of Babylon, doomed to destruction, happy is he who repays you for what you have done to us--he who seizes your infants and dashes them against the rocks. (Psalm 137:8-9)
Vengeful feelings--is it OK to sing about them, to harbor them, to act on them?
