God's Discipline is Measured
Commentators unanimously agree that this verse reveals God's discipline is always "in measure." He doesn't punish to destroy His people but corrects them with moderation. As Charles Spurgeon puts it, God "weighs their troubles in scales, and their sorrows in balances." This measured approach ensures that affliction is corrective, not crushing, and that His people will endure.
