I keep hearing about how it's easy to take verses out of context. What I don't understand, is what context these verses are supposed to be in. For example, Psalm 137:9 reads, "Happy shall he be, who takes and dashes your little ones against the rock."
Now, I know I'm taking it out of context. Now it's the last verse in that chapter, and the ones before it read, "Remember, Yahweh, against the children of Edom, the day of Jerusalem; who said, 'Raze it! Raze it even to its foundation!' Daughter of Babylon, doomed to destruction, he will be happy who rewards you, as you have served us."
Do we only bash little ones upon the rock if we're razing a city? Can someone explain the context to me please?
