“And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk:”
The rest of humankind, who were not killed by these plagues, did not repent of the works of their hands — nor did they give up worshiping demons and idols of gold and silver and bronze and stone and wood, which cannot see or hear or walk — the survivors' refusal to repent (metanoeō, turn around) despite the plagues indicates hardened hearts. The catalog of sins (works of their hands, demonic worship, idolatry to lifeless objects) reveals the root of judgment: rebellion against the living God.
