The law curses violators.It pronounces death. Anyone who violates the least of these commands receive just recompense. Anything short of this standard is making an idol. Since the wicked resolutely opposes Gods law they lower Gods standards. The wicked hate Gods Law. The bible teaches they devise wicked schemes. These complex schemes remain their way of explaining a world without God. Since they order their accustomed lives without any noble thoughts of God, they conveniently express their passionate anger by cursing God.
The truth is idol worshipers seek death. God justly says that those who cunningly make idols will be like that idol. The idol comprises a piece of engineered wood that is devised by man. It does not taste, touch, hear, or talk. An idol is a lifeless thing. In worshiping idols the wicked man curses himself. When ambitious mangoes in a lifelong pursuit of death, he spreads it to those around him. All ambitious men if not constrained by God's Law would-be murderers.
God will not allow men to perform with absolute control of nature. God must judge sin and evildoers. He must eliminate their schemes, or they would rule with oppression. There is a compelling reason why the law is written with curses. The king enjoys a cup that represents his judicial power. The cup of the king is filled with the most quality wines. It appropriately represents the king's judicial authority to pronounce official death. God has gifted leaders with appropriate authority over people. When they misuse authority God fills their cup up with judgement.
God resolutely opposes the wicked kings through the curse of the law. Instead of bringing the swift judgment of death, God orders all things according to His justice. God thwarts the malicious purposes of the wicked by working seamlessly with natural causes. In this way, the king drinks down the evil working of his clever schemes to increase his judgment. In consuming the pleasurable contents in the cup the king drinks down the curses. How does the eternal Ruler over oppressive governments justify Himself? Through the eternal curses written in the law. Christ will inflict retribution in the ultimate judgment.
