An Unceasing Calamity

Commentators emphasize that the coming judgment will not be a single event but a relentless, ongoing disaster. The phrase "morning by morning... by day and by night" illustrates a constant, overwhelming pressure, like a flood that continually sweeps through, leaving no time for recovery or escape. The calamity is portrayed as both immediate and incessant.
