God's Contempt for Wickedness
Commentators explain that God 'treading down' those who err is not just about punishment, but about His assessment of them. He regards them as worthless, like chaff in the wind or the useless dross from a furnace. Scholars like Albert Barnes and John Calvin note that God despises and makes light of their rebellion, viewing it as having no substance or value in His economy.
