Mockery Worsens Punishment
The verse issues a stern warning against scoffing at God's prophetic word. Commentators explain that such mockery doesn't prevent judgment but actually intensifies it. Scholars like Calvin and Gill use the analogy of a prisoner who, by struggling, only makes his chains tighter. Defiance against God's declared will leads to a more severe outcome.
