The God Who Heals Also Judges
Commentators highlight a stark reversal of God's promise in Exodus 15:26. There, God vowed to protect obedient Israel from the diseases of Egypt, revealing Himself as 'the LORD who heals.' Here, for disobedience, He uses those same feared diseases as a curse. This demonstrates that the same God who graciously heals is also the one who justly judges His people when they turn from Him.
