Commentators explain that this verse directly confronts the people's dangerous belief that God's judgment was for a distant future. God makes it clear that His patience has an end. The promised judgment was not for a future generation but would happen "in your days," within the lifetime of those hearing the prophecy. This serves as a powerful warning against presuming upon God's forbearance.
