Repeated correction is a mercy. When a person stiffens against every warning and keeps choosing the wrong path, they move beyond the reach of help. The word 'suddenly' is significant — destruction does not always announce itself; it arrives when the window for repentance has closed. This verse is one of Scripture's most urgent arguments for responding to God's correction while you still can.
Memory phrase: Listen to correction now.
Talk about it: What happens when we keep ignoring correction?
Prayer: God, help me listen when You correct me.
