A Debated Question
Scholars disagree on who asks this taunting question. Some, like John Calvin, believe it's God's faithful people mocking their defeated enemies. Others, citing Jewish tradition, see it as Israel's enemies mocking God's people in their distress. A third view, held by commentators like Spurgeon, is that God Himself speaks with 'holy sarcasm' to expose the folly of idolatry.
