2241. Verse 21 I will go down now, and I will see whether they have brought it to a close according to the cry of it which has come to Me; and if not, I will know.

'I will go down now, and I will see' means visitation. 'Whether they have brought it to a close according to the cry of it which has come to Me; and if not, I will know' means whether evil has reached its peak.
