God's Personal Judgment

Commentators emphasize that the desolation of the land is a direct and personal act of God. While earlier judgments involved God permitting enemy attacks, this curse signifies God Himself actively bringing ruin. The same God who promised to personally bless the land for obedience now personally desolates it for disobedience, showing the gravity of breaking the covenant.
