Verse Takeaways

Stubbornness Amid Judgment
Commentators highlight the people's profound "hardness of heart." The disaster they faced was explicitly foretold in the Law of Moses, yet even this clear fulfillment of God's word did not lead them to genuine repentance. Scholars like Calvin describe this as the "height of madness"—to be disciplined by God but refuse to learn from it. This serves as a warning against ignoring God's corrective actions in our own lives.
