What does the Bible say about God's sovereignty over enemies?

The Lord's sovereignty extends over all creation, and He can use even enemies to chasten His people, as illustrated in scripture. In Psalm 137:7-9, the children of Judah prayed for God to remember the children of Edom in their day of anguish, emphasizing their trust in the Lord's judgment over their oppressors. The Edomites and Babylonites, although kin to Judah, reveled in their misfortune, demonstrating human malice against God's beloved. Similarly, the book of Obadiah reveals God’s judgment against those who act unmercifully towards their brethren, ultimately showing that vengeance belongs to the Lord, and He will repay accordingly. This underscores the belief that while God may allow trials from enemies, He remains in control and will bring about justice.
