Interpretation based on the following study:  Saying, "Behold, how great and loathsome the distress, suffering and depravity, how horrible the oppression and pain, how awful the wretchedness and immorality!  Seething and going bezerk, wasting and destroying everything, swelling up to annihilate and exterminate.  Counterfeit all puffed up, strangulating and causing groaning, collapse and ruin in sorrow, distress and wailing!"  Yehowah Highest Most High God of all creation ordained to bring us to enter into His ownership and devotion, remaining and staying us in a relation of participation and closeness, joining us in union with Him to belong to Him.  Removing us from woeful destruction to spare us in His Deliverance.  Longing to teach, show forth, guide and lead us to enter into His reception, strength and support.  Satisfying to the full our debt to establish and accept us in His Goodwill.  Choosing us in His Favor, restoring us to resemble Him in His Power, Protection and Defense.  Accomplishing through His Word, to complete us in Him, to cherish, feed and nourish us.  Saving us to belong to Yehowah Highest Most High God as His children and heirs.
