Anger of God » Should lead to repentance
Who gave Israel up to the looters? It was Jehovah, against whom we sinned! We would not live as he wanted us to live or obey the teachings he gave us. So he made us feel the force of his anger and suffer the violence of war. Like fire his anger burned throughout Israel. Yet we never knew what was happening. We learned nothing at all from it.
Correction » Correction despised
You have forgotten the exhortation that reasons with you as to sons: My son, do not despise (regard lightly) discipline from Jehovah and do not lose heart when he corrects you. (Proverbs 3:11, 12)
The people did not turn back to him who struck them, or seek Jehovah of Hosts.
I have punished your children without results. They did not respond to correction. You killed my prophets like a raging lion.
I struck you with scorching and mildew. The caterpillar has devoured the multitudes of your gardens, your vineyards, your fig trees and your olive-trees. Yet you have not returned to me, said Jehovah.
They blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains, but they did not repent.
Why do you still want to be beaten? Why do you continue to rebel? Your whole head is infected. Your whole heart is sick.
So he made us feel the force of his anger and suffer the violence of war. Like fire his anger burned throughout Israel. Yet we never knew what was happening. We learned nothing at all from it.
Jehovah looks for faithfulness. He struck you, but you paid no attention. He crushed you, but you refused to learn. You were stubborn and would not turn from your sins.
I said, show me respect and receive discipline (instruction) (correction)! That way she would not loose her dwelling. This is according to all that I have appointed concerning her. But they rose early to corrupt all their deeds.

Hardness (of heart) » Condemned
Thanks to your stubborn and unrepentant heart, you store up wrath for yourself, in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God.
Blessed is the man reverencing God. He who hardens his heart will fall into trouble.
He who is often reprimanded and hardens his neck will suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy.
So he made us feel the force of his anger and suffer the violence of war. Like fire his anger burned throughout Israel. Yet we never knew what was happening. We learned nothing at all from it.

Do not harden your hearts, as in the day of strife, as in the day of testing in the wilderness.
