Commentators explain that Israel's lack of counsel was not simple ignorance but a profound spiritual blindness. John Calvin describes it as a "desperate stupidity," as they failed to connect their ongoing suffering to their sin. This serves as a warning about the danger of growing so callous that we no longer learn from God's discipline or consider the ultimate consequences of our actions.
