God’s loving purpose in chastening is that we yield to Him; but if we harden our hearts, then chastening becomes judgment (citations omitted). Israel was being led astray by false prophets and foolish leaders; the nation would not listen to God’s word . . . If God cannot bring us to repentance through His Word, then He must lift His hand and chasten us. If we do not submit to His chastening, then He must stretch out His hand and judge us. God is long-suffering, but we date not tempt Him by our careless or calloused attitude.
-–W.W. Weirsbe, Be Comforted: Isaiah
