The descendant's question lays bare the essence of the matter: what stirred in the hearts of the envious when their intended victims escaped destruction and departed with honor? For envy is not soothed by another's deliverance but is kindled by it. It is telling that the listener to this tale perceives at once: the resolution of the previous chapter was but a lull, and malice, deprived of its prey, seeks a new trap. The verse teaches that good shown to the wicked does not pacify but provokes them; that the undeserved deliverance of the righteous enrages the unrighteous all the more; and that the true danger lies not in open wrath but in wounded envy, which will immediately set about scheming.
