And the LORD said unto Satan, The LORD rebuke thee, O Satan; even the LORD that hath chosen Jerusalem rebuke thee: is not this a brand plucked out of the fire?
 

3:2 rebuke thee, O Satan. The first basis of God’s rebuke to Satan is not in any attempt to justify Israel’s wickedness, but merely that God had chosen Jerusalem, and that was that! What God does is right, by definition.
