The Consequence of Forsaking God
Commentators emphasize that God's anger and the act of 'hiding His face' are not arbitrary but are the direct and just consequences of Israel's future choice to forsake Him. John Calvin describes being forsaken by God as the ultimate misery. This verse serves as a stark reminder that sin's most severe consequence is a broken relationship with God, leading to the loss of His favor and protection.
