Judgment as a Wake-Up Call
Commentators emphasize that the terrifying plagues were not just for punishment but were intended as a divine wake-up call to lead people to repentance. The tragedy of this verse is that despite witnessing immense destruction, humanity's heart remained hardened. This reveals that even the most severe judgments do not automatically produce repentance, highlighting the profound stubbornness of sin.
