“I smote you with blasting and with mildew and with hail in all the labours of your hands; yet ye turned not to me, saith the Lord.”
I struck you and all the products of your hands with blight and mildew and hail, yet you did not turn to me, declares the LORD—the divine explanation reveals the progression of judgment: despite repeated strikes (blight, mildew, hail), the people did not return to God. The absence of repentance despite successive disasters indicates the community's spiritual blindness. The accumulation of agricultural disasters aims at producing genuine covenant repentance.
