There are times when God is silent and there are times when God speaks. This reveals how far God goes just to turn the hearts of these people to Himself as they are worshiping idols. But even with all punishment and wrath that was pored out on these people, the human mind did not understood God and their hearts did not turn from idols to a living real God.
"For a long time I have held my peace;
I have kept still and restrained myself;
now I will cry out like a woman in labor;
I will gasp and pant.
I will lay waste mountains and hills,
and dry up all their vegetation;
I will turn the rivers into islands,
and dry up the pools.
And I will lead the blind
in a way that they do not know,
in paths that they have not known
I will guide them.
I will turn the darkness before them into light,
the rough places into level ground.
These are the things I do,
and I do not forsake them.
They are turned back and utterly put to shame,
who trust in carved idols,
who say to metal images,
“You are our gods. . .
So he poured on him the heat of his anger
and the might of battle;
it set him on fire all around, but he did not understand;
it burned him up, but he did not take it to heart."
Isaiah 42:14-15
