16:5-6 - God is just. That is who He is. He cannot be unjust. Those who destroy good and go to war against God and seek to spread evil in the world will be judged appropriately...they have to be, or God is not just.
16:7 - You gotta understand, it's not that God is not loving...justice is a part of loving. When you love someone you treat them justly...you hold them accountable for their actions. To love truly there has to be justice...there has to be consequences for sinful actions.
16:9,11 - Even in the face of the power and judgement of God, the evil people do not repent. Even when they receive the judgement for their deeds, they refuse to back down. They have chosen self over God and nothing can change that. God offers His love to everyone...He offers almost limitless second chances, but in the end He gives people what they want. If they choose to reject God, they will reap the consequences of that rejection.
