God's Comprehensive Judgment

Commentators explain that this verse lists several of God's 'four sore judgments' found throughout Scripture: famine ('wasted with hunger'), pestilence ('burning heat'), and wild beasts ('teeth of beasts'). These are not random events but specific, divine consequences for Israel's rebellion, showing the comprehensive nature of God's response to sin.
