A Nation Beaten for Sin
Most commentators see this verse as a graphic depiction of Israel's punishment. The nation is compared to a person beaten from head to toe, whose wounds are left to fester. This powerful image illustrates the devastating national calamities—like invasion and destruction—that have resulted from their persistent rebellion against God. The suffering is a severe, yet unheeded, chastisement.
