When Correction Fails
God asks, "Why should you be stricken any more?" because His corrective discipline, meant to heal, was only making Judah rebel more. Commentators like Spurgeon and Calvin explain that when affliction fails to soften a heart, it often hardens it. This serves as a solemn warning that if lesser judgments are ignored, a more severe one may follow.
